I have a 14 year old Aspie girl who will be making the transition into high school next year. We have held the first of 3 new IEP team meetings, Which went well. I am just curious how the transition went for other parents & kids with autism Advice/suggestions are welcome!
Thank you, I will keep you updated as she makes the transition
As parents I think we carry the burden of our own anxiety as well as our childrens. Good luck
She is very anxious and nervous about it. We've toured the school & met with all her future teachers. I just keep thinking I'm missing something. Maybe I'm as nervous as she is
We did school visits, meet the teacher and a tour of the school. My son is in a life skills class so he didn't have to change classrooms throughout the day which helped. He was actually eager to be more grown up and in high school so there wasn't a lot of anxiety involved. Having said that, the demands of high school proved to be too much and he didn't like his teacher (neither did I). We ended up changing schools, did all of the same transitioning and it worked out much better.
