Abstract
Abstract During life transitions, individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) face unique challenges. When navigating the transition from high school to higher education, individuals with ASD confront increased vulnerability in social situations, decreased likelihood of program completion, and increased risk of mental health problems. To help these individuals successfully navigate this transition, high school mental health professionals should consider including them in a psychoeducational support group which focuses on the development of executive functioning skills, regulation and coping skills, and social skills and which allows for the practice and role-playing of newly learned skills as well as the discussion of ideas and personal experiences. A proposed curriculum (LEADERS) is discussed, along with the logistical and ethical considerations of running the proposed group.
期刊介绍：
With a new publisher (Taylor & Francis) and a new editor (David L. Wodrich), the Journal of Applied School Psychology will continue to publish articles and periodic thematic issues in 2009. Each submission should rest on either solid theoretical or empirical support and provide information that can be used in applied school settings, related educational systems, or community locations in which practitioners work. Manuscripts appropriate for publication in the journal will reflect psychological applications that pertain to individual students, groups of students, teachers, parents, and administrators. The journal also seeks, over time, novel and creative ways in which to disseminate information about practically sound and empirically supported school psychology practice.
