The transition from primary to secondary school is a time of great
anxiety for most children. For children with an Autistic Spectrum
Disorder (ASD) this anxiety can be overwhelming. Fear of the
unknown, difficulty coping with monumental changes and the
inability to imagine a favourable outcome, can all combine to make
this unavoidable step in school life a time of great fear and
dread. This book provides guidance for schools and parents on how
to make the transfer from primary to secondary as easy as possible
for children with ASDs. The book advocates the need for scrupulous
preparation of transfer arrangements because children with ASDs
struggle to predict the outcome of any new situation. No matter how
much discussion has taken place, it is only when the situation has
been experienced first hand that they will have a real
understanding of it and be able to build up a 'real life memory
bank' (RLMB). The authors' advice aims to ensure that any
preparations lead to a favourable outcome, in order to build a
positive RLMB. The book outlines term by term preparation in the
final years of primary school and includes photocopiable resources
and a "Moving to Secondary School" booklet. As most children with
ASDs are visual learners and think in pictures, the booklet uses
symbols to aid understanding. Making the Move provides a wealth of
effective strategies and resources that will encourage and inspire
greater confidence for pupils with ASDs, parents and schools.
Beginning school is a challenging time for most young children. For
those with an Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) the significant
change this entails can be overwhelming, and everyone involved will
be in need of guidance to make the transition as smooth and as
stress-free as possible. This positive and practical book arms
schools with a wealth of essential information, easy-to-implement
strategies and photocopiable resources that will help to make early
schooldays an enjoyable experience for young children on the
spectrum. Constructive suggestions, such as introducing visual
schedules and accommodating sensory issues, will help children with
ASD to feel comfortable in school, and activities including making
a 'happy scrapbook' and a home-school diary will support staff home
liaison. From Home to School with Autism is essential reading for
education professionals seeking to encourage and inspire greater
confidence in young children with ASD as they embark on school
life.
