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
