By Sydney Bornstein, for the Fall 2020 Symposium on Community Engaged Scholarship.    

This presentation was selected as a Fall 2020 Nashman Center Exemplar.

My community partners and I looked into and thought about the transition from pediatric to adult healthcare among non-speaking autistic young adults. We came up with a healthcare transition guide for non-speaking autistic young adults and their families as a short-term solution to make the transition smoother.

This project was part of Dr. Sean Cleary's course, PUBH 6299 The Autism Experience: A Public Health Perspective. In this unique course, designed in collaboration with local, autistic community members, GW students learn community participatory research methods while engaging with autistic young adults, their parents, researchers, clinicians and other service providers. The course covers the science, viewpoints, and experience of autism with a focus on young adults transitioning to adulthood.
