Ressources de transition

Autisme Ontario s’efforce d’accompagner les jeunes individus autistes et leurs familles dans leur transition vers l’âge adulte.

Les gens font appel aux services de transition d’Autisme Ontario pour trouver réponse à leurs nombreuses interrogations, qu’il s’agisse de la planification et de la préparation de l’âge adulte, du passage aux services et soutiens pour adultes, du financement, des options pour l’après-secondaire (études postsecondaires, emplois, engagement dans la communauté, etc.), et plus encore.

Vous trouverez ci-dessous des liens menant à des ressources, à du matériel pédagogique et à des contenus produits par de jeunes autistes, leurs familles ou des professionnels, et qui peuvent s’avérer utiles au cheminement vers l’âge adulte.

Journey to Adulthood Programs

Autism Ontario offers two programs for families navigating the journey from youth to adult. These include:

Journey to Adulthood Workshop

Journey to Adulthood is a 90-minute virtual presentation that introduces key topics in the transition from youth to adult. It is open to parents and caregivers of youth ages 12–18 who are in the AccessOAP program. This workshop is typically offered quarterly.

Journey to Adulthood Discussion Program

Our Journey to Adulthood Discussion Program is a six-week virtual workshop discussing key topics in the transition from youth to adult. This workshop is typically hosted for:

  • Parents and caregivers of youth ages 12–15 who are attending elementary or secondary education, and
  • Parents and caregivers of youth ages 16–20 who are attending secondary education.

Topics may include funding, consent capacity and legal issues, post secondary options, building community connections, employment, and advocacy. This program is typically offered in fall, winter, and spring.

 

Autism Career Connections

Finding meaningful work is important. At Autism Ontario, we believe that everyone has the right to dignified and respectful careers, in environments that foster growth and lifelong satisfaction. Autistic adults and youth deserve this dignity and respect. Autism Career Connections is an online workshop that helps both job seekers on the autism spectrum and employers create safe and healthy workplaces.

Using a modular approach, employers and HR professionals will learn how to design inclusive working environments, adopt unbiased hiring practices, and foster success within the autistic community. Job seekers can look forward to employment preparedness programs. You will learn about your strengths, how to write a resume, expand your interview skills, and discover where to find work.

Autism Career Connections is free, online, and on-demand.
