The ASD Independence Workbook offers powerful skills to help teens
and young adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) successfully
navigate the skills required for daily living and integration into
their communities. Teens and young adults with ASD face many unique
challenges on the road to growing up. Daily interactions that we
often take for granted-yet are imperative for living
independently-can be particularly difficult. People with ASD
require practice with simple activities and interactions in school,
in the community, and on the job site. So how can you help the teen
in your life gain the skills needed to successfully transition into
adulthood? This easy-to-follow and engaging workbook is designed to
help young adults ages fourteen and up develop invaluable
communication skills and practice with interactions they would
encounter in everyday life. Teens will also find information on
topics that are imperative for a successful transition into
adulthood-including health and safety, self-care, and more. This
unique book not only focuses on what adaptive skills are needed in
the real world, but also gives teens with ASD the ability to
practice these skills, either independently or with a
teacher/caregiver. Give the teen in your life the gift of
independence. With this workbook, they will be one step closer to
leading full, productive, and meaningful lives. Teens need mental
health resources more than ever. With over 1.2 million copies sold
worldwide, Instant Help Books for teens are engaging,
proven-effective, and recommended by therapists.
