Abstract

The purpose of this project was to develop a tool that would lead to a more positive transition experience into special education for students with autism and their families. After interviewing parents of students with autism and researching the literature, a Parent Needs Assessment was developed, which includes a checklist of parents' needs and priorities for their child. The Assessment provides a means for special education staff to understand the needs of the family during the transition period, and ultimately leads to a more effective education for the student with autism.
