Preparing for Life by Jed Baker
Typically, ASD high school graduates are unprepared for the transition to independence. This book shows how early ongoing training in the social skills is crucial to establishing successful adult relationships. It guides readers through the legal, financial, educational, vocational, and community resources available after graduation.
Having earned his MA and Ph.D. in clinical psychology from the University of Albany, Dr. Jed Baker is a behavioral consultant for several New Jersey school districts where, nearly two decades ago, he organized a group to help children with social communication problems. That group expanded and ultimately became the Social Skills Training Project under Dr. Baker's directorship. Dr. Baker also presents lectures all over the world on social skills training, and is on the board of directors of the Asperger's Syndrome Education Network, Inc. (ASPEN). His work has been featured on ABC News and Nightline.
