Coping with change
It is well recognised that significant change and transitions can be a particularly challenging time for many young people on the Autism Spectrum. Children need support with significant changes in their life.
The transition to a new school is stressful for many young people but it can be particularly challenging for young people with ASD and some other neurodevelopmental disorders. It is important to plan and prepare for this transition. Your child’s schools will need to work closely together to share their understanding of their needs, areas of difficulties and to identify with you what support will be helpful.
