Year: 2014
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: Students with ASD may experience challenges in school; however, literature suggests that they \nshould still have access to public education with appropriate services and supports (Burge, \nOuellette-Kuntz, Hutchinson & Box, 2008; Levy & Perry, 2008; Mesibov & Shea, 1996; Odom, \n2000; Porter, 2008). The purpose of the current study was to examine the views and perceptions \nof those involved in the transition of students with ASD from IBI to school in Northern Ontario. \nUsing a mixed-methods approach, members of multiple transition teams were asked to complete \nThe Transition Beliefs Inventory (Levy & Perry, 2008) and the Transition Practices \nQuestionnaire (Levy & Perry, 2008) to assess their transition beliefs and experiences. The results \nof this study suggest that the transition is occurring as outlined by the North region Autism \nIntervention Program (AIP) and the Connections for Students model and could be used to inform \ncontinuous improvement of service and practices.
