In this edition of E-Speaks, we're sharing a variety
of practical resources that can be helpful across the spectrum and
throughout the life span. From information on how to build a
multifaceted wandering prevention safety plan to a step-by-step
guide to help autistic teens reach their goals for adulthood in our
new Transition Roadmaps, this E-Speaks is packed with valuable
information you can use.

We're also sharing news of our exciting partnership with
the Autism Science Foundation and the launch of the Autism Research
Community COVID-19 Task Force. This collaboration will bring
research-based tools directly to the fingertips of the autism
community in today's ever-changing landscape.

Transition Roadmaps: Digital guides for autistic teens and young
adults

Launched yesterday, our new Transition Roadmaps to Employment, Housing
and Post-Secondary Education offer step-by-step guidance to help autistic teens plan for and reach their goals for adulthood. Each roadmap, with targeted content for
ages 10-22 and a range of support levels, provides clearly defined
goals and action steps to support you in your transition journey.

offer a range of effective, evidence-informed tools for the autism
community. Vetted resources are available at autismspeaks.org/coronavirus

Summer safety: Wandering prevention

As summer approaches and communities re-open, it may be time to
re-visit your family's safety plan in the event your child might
wander. Take into account any changes in home, school and activity
settings due to COVID-19. Visit our Wandering Prevention Resources to put together a written plan. Share it with all of your child's caregivers and bring it with you if you choose to travel:
