"Good!" according to Magnolia. Very complete and useful! A must for families living an adolescent with autism!!. Behaviorizm101 said Good resource for job sample assessments; case studies add illustration to procedures.. Purchased this book for MA level class. Good introduction to complex world of maturing individuals with autism. At times, suggestions for interventions and supports take on mentalist approach to coordinate treatment via many professionals; a real-world approach for those who have limited supports available. This text tells you what to teach, not how to teach it, and how to navigate financial/academic/employment challenges facing the individual with autism.. LDel said I've found this book to be very helpful and have recommended it to many parents. As a high school educator working with students on the spectrum and a doctoral student focusing on ASD, I've found this book to be very helpful and have recommended it to many parents. It covers every aspect of transitioning from high school and provides many useful resources.
