Teenagers : the Road with Autism to Independant Living

Description

ContextNowadays, autism affects 3.3 million people in the European Union - about 1 in 150 people are diagnosed with this disability in Europe. Although specific efforts have been made by autism plans in different key phases of the life of autistic people, the transition phase of adolescents and young adults in their access to a more independent life is a special phase insufficiently taken into account in an inclusive aim. In addition to having a comparative approach to the policies of the Member States to work on convergences and benchmark, the challenge is to better define the needs of the relevant stakeholders and to propose innovative tools and methods to professionals (education, social) to support the transition to an integrated and independent approach. life. Professionals and families need access to tools, devices and resources to better support this phase. ObjectivesTRAIL has contributed to the identification and implementation of good practices (frameworks, resources, tools) to support the transition phase of young adults with autism. These innovations are aimed at support professionals but also at young people and their families for a more independent life in ordinary life. An essential objective was also to transfer 3 innovative practices directly operational and usable by a large number of professionals: HIPE training (TOI Leonardo 2012) short session for an immediate efficiency of professionals in contact with autistic people) - Interactive Theater method allowing professionals to co-construct and script complex situations - Mobile Units of the APAJH38 allowing multidisciplinary teams to intervene at home with people with autism to help them in their daily lives.ConsortiumThe promoter LES PAPILLONS BLANCS de Dunkerque - SAMO (France) is an association that supports people with intellectual disabilities with or without associated disorders including autism. TRAIL has logically mobilized 5 partners of the HIPE4ASD project: THE REGIONAL DIRECTORATE OF THESSALY RECTORATH (Greece) which made it possible to work on the axis of inclusive education in close connection with families - FORO TECNICO DE FORMACION (Spain) a center certified national vocational training program which also helped to deploy a skills approach in the transfer phases - PASSPORT EUROPE (France) coordinator of HIPE4ASD was able to support the coordination, the process of valorization and innovation - NATIONAL AUTISTIC SOCIETY (UK) Association The National Major Program on Autism in the UK joined HIPE in the final conference and carried out the project studies. TP-TEATERN (Sweden) Theater Company working for the social sector and APAJH38 (France) accompanying people with disabilities in different fields have completed the project as a bearer of innovative actions to transfer their know-how. INTERMEDIAKT (Greece) ICT specialist took charge of the creation of TRAIL's online environment.Activities and resultsA comprehensive online environment has been created to support information gathering, communities (especially for studies) and learning activities (especially during innovation transfer) and dissemination.The consortium finalized 4 studies (not exhaustive) to have a comparison between partner countries in the transition phase: 1. Comparative approach of social policies 2. Needs of professionals 3. Needs of young adults and their families 4. Survey of decision makers.The collected information and the documentary research have identified a set of innovations (validated by the Steering Committees) assembled in the TRAIL Toolkit (devices, tools and resources) covering the different fields of life of young people in transition.A training module has been created to help professionals support these young people during the transition phase.Impact and bénéfices Studies, exchanges have highlighted large differences in approaches and organizations related to the specific cultures and social policies of each country, each partner discovering devices, innovations, training modules Directly transferable. Of this collaborative work was born the desire to develop projects aimed at improving the courses for all partners, as for example in France and in Greece, the use of interactive theatre in schools, college and high School to promote Inclusion and acceptance of the difference, in an inclusive view.
