I am a graduate student at Pacific University in Oregon. I am licensed teacher in General Education and currently studying for my license in Special Education which I hope to be teaching soon. I am married to a wonderful man just diagnosed with Asperger's & ADHD.

I would like to know what strategies you have used and/or currently use to make the transition from elementary school to middle school and from middle school to high school go more smoothly. What did you use to enable students with Autism to be successful in the new school with so many changes? I would like proven strategies & ideas as well as the good, the bad and the ugly.

Thank you for all your help,

Shawna Fink

Hello Shell;

When I was writing this, I wrote you in a generic meaning. I was not meaning to address a specific person.

My behavior analyst came in and gave me the low down ont the student. He helped me creat and implement a behavior plan which was modified according to the students needs on a monthly basis. Using token boards, Mayer Johnson, real life pics, schedules, positive behavior support plan and great staff...this student came to us quite troubled with many maladaptive behaviors such as hair pulling and hitting. These behaviors are now non-exsisting! If you need more specifics let me know!
