This book is an exceptional resource that provides practical,
step-by-step activities to support students with autism and related
disorders who are transitioning from school-age to adulthood. This
great collection of ideas is a fantastic resource for teachers,
families, and related service providers.

daughter who is diagnosed with autism
Dr. Burth has deftly filled a niche in this book with great, aptly
leveled, realistic activities that can help your child or client to
be involved in making choices for an exciting future. Drawing upon
excellent, field tested examples, you can tap into motivating
exercises and discussions. As a program director devoted to foster
children, I believe this collection can play a key role to engage
ASD youth in transition to adulthood planning.
Karen Burns, Executive Director, CASA of Westmoreland, Inc.
I believe that Dr. Burth's book offers an exceptional and realistic
insight into the needs of special need students as they enter the
adult world. Unlike many of the textbooks and resources available
to instructors, that offer teaching strategies and pedagogy, this
book offers insight from the student's perspective. I believe that
this book has the potential to be a tremendous resource for those
involved in preparing our future teachers to deal with the
challenges of special need students.
Dr. Daniel J Shelley, University Professor Emeritus, Robert Morris
