The transition from school into further or higher education (FE/HE) is an important and complex process for a student with autism.
Following on from the success of last year's event, this afternoon workshop will provide stakeholders involved in this process an opportunity to hear about the Autism Supplement produced by Autism Network Scotland, to work alongside the recently updated Principles of Good Transitions 3.
Delegates will be able to share solutions to common barriers and network with others involved in transitions for people with autism.
