Just as schools educate young people to become responsible citizens who can navigate the world of post-secondary education, careers, and social life, dedicated parents also want their child to mature and be independent and happy. Youth who transition to adulthood encounter many obstacles, including finances, skills for independent living, job security, and social connections. Transitioning from School to Adulthood: Practical Activities for Youth with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Other Disabilities is a collection of descriptions, instructions, and practice activities for young people who face more barriers than most emerging adults. These activities are helpful for teachers, service providers, and parents assisting individuals with ASD, along with other disorders, such as Cognitive Disorders, Developmental Delays, and Specific Learning Disabilities. The activities are designed by future teachers, undergraduate students in the education major. Leaving the school environment and preparing for adulthood is a time of profound change. The adult world encompasses many firsts for young people. Planning for the changes enables more positive outcomes. The chapters in this book describe activities for independent life or supported environments, step-by-step instructions, and practice exercises. The areas of concentration include Socialization, Independent Living, Employment, Education, Self-Advocacy, and Health and Hygiene.

In the past decade or so, scholars in the United States have identified the emergence of a new, distinct stage of life, as adolescence has become protracted, and most young people of recent generations take longer to achieve economic and psychological autonomy than they did a half century ago. This new life stage, in between adolescence and adulthood when young people are in a semiautonomous state, has come to be known as "early adulthood." Main characteristics of this new life stage include a later entry into the work force, a longer period of time living in the natal home, and a delayed age at marriage and childbearing. These trends not only have profound implications for young adults' well-being and intergenerational relationships but also challenge social institutions, such as family, schools, labor markets, and many youth-serving institutions.

The transition to adulthood involves, for most individuals, moving from school to work, establishment of long-term relationships, possibly parenting, and a number of other psychosocial transformations. Now more than ever, there is a concern within popular and research literature about children growing up too soon or too late or failing to realize changes associated with being adult. With this in mind, the book intends to answer a series of timely questions in regard to transition to adulthood and propose a wholly new approach to counseling that enables youth to engage fully in their lives and achieve their best. Active Transition to Adulthood: A New Approach for Counseling will discuss the authors’ work on the transition to adulthood (including early and late adolescence) from an entirely innovative perspective – action theory. Over a period of 10-15 years the authors have collected substantial data on adolescents and youth in transition, and will present an approach to counseling based on these data and cases. The action theory perspective in which the authors have grounded their work addresses the intentional, goal-directed behavior of persons and groups that is expressed through particular actions, longer-term projects, and life-encompassing careers. In this book, both transition to adulthood and counseling will be covered in the language of goal-directed action. In this way both transition and counseling reflect and capture the action, projects, and careers in which families, youth, and clients are engaged and use to construct on-going identity and other narratives.

This is the first New Directions volume related to young adult learners since 1984. Then, as now, young adults are an important segment of the adult population but have received scant attention in the adult education literature. Increasingly, youths and young adults are enrolling in adult education programs and in doing so are changing the meaning of adulthood. Given the significant demographic, technological, and cultural shifts during the past 30 years, there is an increasing need for practitioners and program planners to reconsider what constitutes "adult" and "adult education." An understanding of the changing meaning of adulthood is fundamental to developing programs and policies that will address the needs of younger learners, and we believe it is time for an updated discussion among adult educators and scholars in other disciplines. This sourcebook is designed to reignite the discussion related to meeting the educational needs of young adults along with a timely and interdisciplinary discussion that highlights the transitional needs of young adult learners. Table of contents: 1. Conceptualizing Transitions to Adulthood (Johanna Wyn) This opening chapter lays the groundwork for this volume by providing an overview of adult development theories as they relate to the transition to young adulthood along with a discussion of the blurring between youth and adult due to the ambiguity encountered when trying to define adulthood. 2. Culture, Conditions, and the Transition to Adulthood (Brendaly Drayton) An individual's culture shapes both the definition of adult and the experience of the transition to adulthood. Furthermore, the transition to adulthood may serve as a time when an individual's cultural identity is more consciously defined and more personally salient. This chapter explores the intersection of culture and adulthood. 3. Vulnerable Youth and Transitions to Adulthood (Rongbing Xie, Bisakha Sen, E. Michael Foster) This chapter discusses recent research conducted that identified challenges youth in the mental health system, the foster care system, and the juvenile justice system face in their transition to adulthood due to limited support systems. 4. Young Adulthood, Transitions, and Dis/ability (Jessica Nina Lester) A discussion focusing on the social transitions to adulthood and independent living of an often forgotten population in adult education, young adults labeled with (dis)abilities. 5. Becoming an Adult in a Community of Faith (Steven B. Frye) The vitality and ongoing existence of any community of faith-- regardless of the specific religious tradition--depends on incorporating the "next generation" as full participants. This chapter focuses on how the transition to adulthood is transacted within various religious traditions and the extent to which that transition is a place where non-formal learning takes place. 6. Youths Transitioning as Adult Learners (C. Amelia Davis) This chapter conceptualizes transitions with a focus on Adult Basic Education/GED students as they transition from high school to adult education. 7. Transitions From Formal Education to the Workplace (Joann S. Olson) This chapter frames the transition to adulthood in the context of the moving from formal educational settings (e.g., high school, postsecondary education) to the often less-structured learning that occurs in workplace settings. 8. Themes and Issues in Programming for Young Adults (Joann S. Olson, C. Amelia Davis) In this final chapter, recurring themes from the preceding chapters are identified and discussed as they pertain to program planning and instructional practice.

This study seeks to clarify the transition to adulthood and the relevance of school support on that transition. Young, emerging adults (n = 41) between the ages of 23-29 were questioned about their transition to adulthood and the prior helpfulness of their high school experience. Demographic information was collected, in addition to qualitative and quantitative ratings of school support. Participant definitions of adulthood were characterized in six trait categories: productivity, independence, communication, relational abilities, financial abilities, and being "adult-like." Participants rated the level of school support for productivity at the highest levels, while trait areas of relational and financial abilities were rated lowest. Participants in a follow up survey said their school could have done more to emphasize relevant adult traits. Implications of these responses are discussed, along with related research inquiries.
