After researching different adult programs for adults with Autism, I decided to research high school programs that are available to teenagers with Autism. I found an article that talks about a high school, Vernon Hills High School, that provides it's students with helping teenagers with Autism make connections.The program was created to help the students positively interact socially and be better prepared for life after graduation. The program also works with students to help develop stress management techniques and learn more effective time management. The students learn by role playing which helps to expand on their students social awareness.
I believe programs like these are a great way to help work with teens diagnosed with Autism develop the necessary skills. The programs provide teens with Autism the skills to be successful in life after high school.
