According to the diagnostic criteria transitions are an area of difficulty for people on the spectrum. With transitions being an unavoidable and very regular part of life, it is crucial that support teams for people on the spectrum have an understanding of the impact of transitions and are equipped with effective strategies to support them. This workshop looks at a range of practical strategies to support the small and big transitions that are part of every school day with a focus on supporting transition into 2022.

Workshop Definitions
General Workshops are designed to give participants an introduction to understanding the autism spectrum and provides workshop participants with the knowledge of key strategies to support individuals in a range of settings.
In Focus Workshops are designed for participants who have a good, current understanding of autism and are looking for a more in-depth understanding relating to a particular area of the autism field. This greater knowledge in turn provides greater confidence in applying strategies to support individuals in this area. It is recommended that participants attend an Autism SA General Workshop prior to attending an In-Focus Workshop or Masterclass unless they have a good, current understanding of autism.
Masterclass Workshops are based on the concept that there is always more to learn. Masterclasses are short intensive workshops that are designed to provide participants who already have a sound current understanding of autism, with specific and extended content relating to a particular topic, strategy or program.
