Imagine a Life: A Roadmap for Parents Developing an Individualized Plan for the ASD Journey @ Integrated Autism Consulting

Integrated Autism Consulting (IAC) has had a particular interest in working with young adults to assist them in charting their path to successful and meaningful lives. During the transition from secondary school, when young adults with ASD face the daunting challenge in taking the next step forward to adulthood, specific supports and resources are essential. As a result of the inherent characteristics of ASD, these young adults find themselves anxious, frustrated and confused. Often they are unsuccessful in their pursuits after secondary school, often dropping out of university or college, unable to find or maintain employment or graduating to their family’s basement and retreating into their own or online world. The recognition of these outcomes and the looming cohort of secondary school graduates with ASD, led to the development of the Transition To Life course (TTL). TTL was designed to provide participants with a comprehensive 12 week course in the many critical elements that need to be incorporated into the transition journey. Through the course and individualized coaching sessions participants learn about themselves and how to begin to navigate the transition to the adult world​
