Individuals with autism and their caregivers face unique challenges in later childhood and adolescence, yet this period is often neglected in the professional literature. This much-needed unique volume translates current research on the needs of this population into practical recommendations for clinicians and educators. Featuring vivid case examples and an in-depth, reproducible assessment form, the book comprehensively addresses the many contexts of children's lives. Accessible guidance and hands-on suggestions are provided for:
- Supporting positive behavior, communication, and social skills
- Managing issues related to mental and physical health and sexuality
- Helping families access services and navigate the legal system
- Optimizing the educational and transition planning process
