The ASD Independence Workbook offers powerful skills to help teens and
young adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) successfully navigate
the skills required for daily living and integration into their
communities.
Teens and young adults with ASD face many unique
challenges on the road to growing up. Daily interactions that we often
take for granted-yet are imperative for living independently-can be
particularly difficult. People with ASD require practice with simple
activities and interactions in school, in the community, and on the job
site. So how can you help the teen in your life gain the skills needed
to successfully transition into adulthood?
This easy-to-follow and engaging workbook is
designed to help young adults ages fourteen and up develop invaluable
communication skills and practice with interactions they would encounter
in everyday life. Teens will also find information on topics that are
imperative for a successful transition into adulthood-including health
and safety, self-care, and more. This unique book not only focuses on
what adaptive skills are needed in the real world, but also gives teens
with ASD the ability to practice these skills, either independently or
with a teacher/caregiver.
