Editorial Reviews

Review

A breath of fresh air . . . could conceivably become the 'bible' of information for transitioning students with autism. It will be on my bookshelf for many years to come. --Judith Howlett, MALS, MS Ed, Transition Specialist, Richmond Public Schools, Virginia

The most practical book I have read on developing measurable transition goals and real-life community based experiences for students and young adults with autism. --Sherrilyn Fisher, Ph.D., DCDT President

Finally! There is such a demand in the field for a text like this. This book is a very thorough overview and addresses a significant need for information on making the transition to all aspects of adult life a success for young people with autism. --Debra Hart, Director, Education & Transition, Institute for Community Inclusion, University of Massachusetts, Boston
