For families of autistic teenagers, the question of what comes after school often arrives earlier than expected, and planning ahead tends to make the transition smoother than leaving it until the last year.
Why Early Planning Helps
Transition planning gives time to build relevant skills gradually, explore options like further learning, vocational training or structured day programmes, and adjust goals as a young person's interests and abilities become clearer.
What a Transition Plan Can Include
This typically covers communication and self-advocacy skills, daily living independence, vocational or further-learning options, and a realistic look at the support a young adult may continue to need.
A Team Conversation, Not a Single Decision
Dr. Murli Singh and the GALS team work with families over time rather than making a single decision at one point, since goals and readiness often shift as a young person grows.
Start the Conversation Early
If your child is approaching the later school years, it's worth starting this conversation sooner rather than later. Call 9990555423 or 8796958310, or message us on WhatsApp, to arrange a consultation.
