  6. Aims & Objectives of Transitions “Pupils with Aspergers and communication disorders are probably the biggest group in need of specialised support at transition stage” C McKenna, Cathkin High School “It can be very difficult to manage a suitable and sustainable transition for some pupils, especially those with ASD. We try to involve our Careers Service as much as we can” A Meikle, St Andrews and St Bride “Only 15% of adults with autism in the UK are in full-time paid employment, over 60% of people with ASD want to work but don’t have the support to achieve this”

  7. Aims & Objectives of Transitions • In response to the Scottish Strategy for Autism, SLC aim to provide the right individualised support to those who are preparing for their transition to leave school. • Includes a ‘local’ transition strategy, with a specialist multi agency approach to support the longer term stages of transition. • In line with South Lanarkshire Council’s Supported Employment Framework, support is specifically tailored to those who have ASD.
