Review
—Mary Clancy, MSEd, division head at Cooke School and Institute, a school that serves students with moderate to severe disabilities in New York City, NY
“Tabone expertly translates research into easily understandable, structured, real-life practices for students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The ASD Independence Workbook provides students with strategies, explicit directions, checklists, and reflective teachings to support a successful transition to independence and full life after high school. This is certainly a workbook that will be in my toolbox!”
—Stewart Miller, head of school, Riverview School
“Our school, The Gateway School of Mumbai, is in its first year of running its high school adaptive program and we have been working hard to figure out the best way to prepare our students for this transition to life, as young adults beyond school. ... There is a lot of material on independent skills and transition programs out there, but the two things that made Francis’s book invaluable to us were a) the organization of ideas into four essential themes, each with a concise but purposeful list of goals and activities, and b) the structured and explicit breakdown of the activities provided us novice teachers with the much-needed scaffolding that we were looking for as we implemented the program for the first time. Thank you, Francis, for compiling the knowledge accumulated through years of experience and study in this area, it has been an immense support to us!”
—Radhika Zahedi, MA, co-principal, The Gateway School of Mumbai
“This clear, complete, and practical skill-building guide will take young people all the way down the road to a successful transition to adult life. And it’s a resource for family members, school staff, clinicians, and anyone who wants to help young people lead productive and satisfying lives. Don’t think about transition without it.”
—Fredda Rosen, executive director of Job Path, a New York City, NY-based not-for-profit that helps people with autism and other developmental disabilities find jobs, live in their own homes, and become part of community life
“The ASD Independence Workbook confronts the issues faced by young adults as they strive to be independent and assume their position in the community. Within each of the four content areas, the many tested and practical activities are presented in a rhythmic style that makes them easy to follow and understand. The book stands out because Tabone respects the competence of his readers and their desire to be a part of the majority culture without changing who they are. It will be a valuable resource in their quest to achieve a balanced and fulfilled life.”
—Carole R. Gothelf, EdD, director of individualized supports for AHRC New York City
“Working in special education for the last twenty years has made me realize how important these adaptive skills are to the independence and happiness of young people with ASD. This book is a much-needed resource for teachers and families, and can have a profound impact on the lives of young people with ASD if truly incorporated into their educational and transitional plans.”
—Mark Lauterbach, PhD, assistant professor for early childhood/art education; program head for special education at Brooklyn College

5.0 out of 5 stars Must for Autistic Older Teens
Information is simple and age appropriate without talking down to autistic young adults. References to 'work' and 'school' keep it from sounding condescending. Much of the information assumes that the student is or will be living independently or in a group setting. My 17yo student has yet to ask, " Is this a baby book?" I and my student are very pleased with this book.
5.0 out of 5 stars Very helpful
I use this workbook to lead conversation in therapy sessions. It is very helpful and the topics were created specifically for teens and young adults diagnosed with ASD.
4.0 out of 5 stars GREAT BOOK BUT GET RID OF THE FORWARD!!
This is a wonderful resource for navigating life skills, not just for autistic people, but for everyone in general! Includes communication, healthy, safety, hygiene, planning for the day and other situations, getting help when you need it, community needs, etc. I love the charts and hands on graphics to plan things out and have a reference to go back to that is personal for each persons needs.HOWEVER, the forward written in this book by Judith Newman NEEDS TO GO! I ripped it out before even giving it to my son. I couldn’t imagine being handed a book to help me out and the second paragraph into it speaks so demeaningly about the skills I struggle with. These comments are ableist and rude!
5.0 out of 5 stars huge help
this book has been a huge help for us as parents to help our daughter learn things we might not think about, its awesome.
5.0 out of 5 stars Nice
Well written
3.0 out of 5 stars Not really for high functioning ASD
This book is OK but it doesn't really work for my higher functioning clients. Was hoping there would be more about transition out of high school and whats next.
5.0 out of 5 stars Guide to hep them
Great book for young boys to men about taboo issues not normally talked about
5.0 out of 5 stars Great resource for ASD clients
Excellent book for therapists looking for activities for teens and young adults on the spectrum.
Very practical, easy to use and effective
Very practical in finding solutions and asking for help
Very basic and straightforward in a good way
I needed a book that had clear concrete directions on how someone with ASD can learn independent living skills. This is the exact book for that purpose. It was exactly what I needed. I looked at one other book, but it was too complicated with too much narrative. This met my need perfectly and I recommended it to a family I was working with.
So what
Simplistic and pointless
