"Ambitious about Autism with the Association of Colleges and nasen are leading the two year Department for Education sponsored Finished at School programme. The programme builds on Ambitious about Autism’s 2011 flagship campaign, Finished at School, which found that just 1 in 4 young people with autism access any form of education once they have left school.

The Finished at School programme is working to develop and strengthen post-school transition pathways for young people with autism, so they can progress on to college, work and life as part of their home community.

This event is an interim opportunity to share progress and learning with other colleges in the context of reforms due to be implemented in September 2014."

  • Evidently the MODS aren't worried that this might be inappropriate advertising. Anyone else share my concerns about this one?

  • Credentials are important though. Four people run Healthcare Information, advising on everything under the sun. They claim to be medical practitioners but wont say where, and they seem to be involved in American Corporations. There are better informed sources of information about autism than the claims made here. And most bona fide sites can produce vastly more convincing credentials.

    Class 3 is American. I don't comprehend the reference to "serotogenic tendency" unless it is about posture. Making glib connections between "progressive type of autism" and learning disability sounds to me like cynical misrepresentation. I could be being unfair. But this isn't an appropriate advisory recommendation - its explotative advertising

  • No doubt, autism is common in among all population due to some hereditary factors and other environmental factors that act as triggers.One thing i would love to mention here because it is autism related post, a stud was published in 2009 regarding autism that autism is very common in class 3 students due to its serotogenic tendency but early diagnosis of autism may prevent the development of progressive type of autism which may cause learning disabilities.Read a full length article here for your kind information.
