Description: The transition from primary to secondary school is a time of great anxiety for most children. For children with an Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) this anxiety can be overwhelming. Fear of the unknown difficulty coping with monumental changes and the inability to imagine a favourable outcome can all combine to make this unavoidable step in school life a time of great fear and dread. This book provides guidance for schools and parents on how to make the transfer from primary to secondary as easy as possible for children with AS Ds. The book advocates the need for scrupulous preparation of transfer arrangements because children with AS Ds struggle to predict the outcome of any new situation. No matter how much discussion has taken place it is only when the situation has been experienced first hand that they will have a real understanding of it and be able to build up a 'real life memory bank (RLMB). The authors advice aims to ensure that any preparations lead to a favourable outcome in order to build a positive RLMB. The book outlines term by term preparation in the final years of primary school and includes photocopiable resources and a " Moving to Secondary School" booklet. As most children with AS Ds are visual learners and think in pictures the booklet uses symbols to aid understanding. Making the Move provides a wealth of effective strategies and resources that will encourage and inspire greater confidence for pupils with AS Ds parents and schools.
