Systemic Transition in Education Programme for Autism Spectrum Disorder
The Systemic Transition in Education Programme for Autism Spectrum Disorder (STEP-ASD) is an intervention designed to facilitate successful school transition for children on the autism spectrum via intervention on the child's educational environment.
It aims to help parents and teachers develop their shared understanding of the child’s needs and abilities and then promoting individualised modifications at secondary school.
STEP-ASD was designed as a low-intensity intervention as it seeks to modify and improve existing practices in schools, rather than impose extensive additional tasks on school staff.
It was developed by clinicians at University College London (UCL), Great Ormond Street Hospital and the Institute of Child Health in London.
