Purpose The purpose of this tutorial is to provide speech-language pathologists (SLPs) with foundational information that will assist them in transition planning for students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) based on a review of current literature. SLPs must be knowledgeable of transition planning in order to assist students with ASD and their families with preparing for their future. An appreciation and awareness of pertinent assessments, functional goals, and factors associated with successful postsecondary outcomes are essential competencies that SLPs need when planning for the transition process. SLPs are ideal workforce development partners. They facilitate independence, communication, and interaction skills necessary for postsecondary and workplace success. Speech-language services are one of the most common special education services received by high school students with Individualized Education Programs. However, SLPs receive little preparation on the specifics or nuances of transition planning prior to working in the educational settings, despite the high incidence of speech-language services in secondary education. Method This tutorial reviews and synthesizes research findings related to assessment planning, goal-setting, and Individualized Education Program implementation for achieving meaningful postsecondary transitions for students with ASD. Additionally, it highlights some of the key postsecondary skillsets related to speech-language therapy services, including the development of self-determination, self-advocacy, social competence, and adaptive behaviors. Conclusion Greater focus on higher quality transition planning requires SLPs to develop high levels of knowledge and competencies in the transition planning process. This tutorial educates clinicians on the unique challenges faced by individuals with ASD and provides evidence-based strategies to help students and families successfully plan for and navigate postsecondary transitions.

有意义的过渡：在自闭症谱系障碍青少年的过渡规划中增强临床医生的作用。

目的本教程的目的是向言语病理学家（SLP）提供基础信息，这些信息将帮助他们根据最新文献对患有自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）的学生进行过渡计划。SLP必须熟悉过渡计划，以帮助ASD学生及其家人为他们的未来做准备。对相关评估，职能目标以及与成功的中学后成果相关的因素的理解和认识是SLP在规划过渡过程时需要的基本能力。SLP是理想的劳动力开发合作伙伴。它们促进了中学后和工作场所成功所必需的独立性，沟通和互动能力。言语服务是具有个性化教育计划的高中学生最普遍的特殊教育服务之一。但是，尽管中学教育中语音服务的发生率很高，但是在学习环境之前，SLP几乎没有准备好过渡计划的细节或细微差别。方法本教程回顾并综合了与评估计划，目标设定和个性化教育计划实施相关的研究结果，以为ASD学生实现有意义的中学后过渡。此外，它重点介绍了与言语治疗服务相关的一些关键的中学后技能，包括自我决定，自我倡导，社交能力和适应行为的发展。结论更加注重高质量的过渡计划要求SLP在过渡计划过程中发展高水平的知识和能力。本教程对临床医生进行了有关ASD个人面临的独特挑战的教育，并提供了基于证据的策略来帮助学生和家庭成功地计划和应对中学后的过渡。
