Moving to high school is a huge moment in any young person\u2019s life. A new school means a new environment, usually larger in size, with more complex demands and accompanied by a series of unfamiliar and potentially bewildering sounds.<\/p>

For a young person with autism this transition can often be particularly challenging. Support and preparation for transition can result in a better outcome.<\/p>

The\u00a0Autism Sound Walk<\/a>\u00a0 will support young people with autism during transition to high school by enabling them to familiarise themselves with the types of new sounds they should expect to hear, prior to arrival in the new environment.<\/p>

This map has been designed to help you get used to the different sounds you\u2019ll hear around the school. Click on the red dots on the map to hear sounds from that part of the school. It\u2019s best to use headphones to get the most accurate idea of what it\u2019s like being in those places.<\/p>

The soundwalk can be played by carers, teachers, or young people themselves. It can be played as many times as desired and can form the basis of familiarisation, preparation and discussion.\u00a0<\/p>

This scheme provides self-help books to children and young people to help them deal with emotional issues and give additional guidance.<\/p>

Research has shown the effectiveness of high quality self-help books.<\/p>

Children and young people in particular may find it difficult to talk about their emotions. Reading a book may help them understand their feelings and give them advice on how to cope. \u00a0There are also books available to help guide parents and guardians.<\/p>

Books can be recommended by GPs, school counsellors, school nurses, teachers, youth centre staff and others who might be approached by a young person for some advice \/ guidance.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
