摘要:Using semi-structured interviews, this study aims to document the perceptions of fifteen parents of autistic adolescents regarding their transition towards a special-needs class in a regular high school setting. This study has found an important presence of co-occurring conditions among this population. It also concludes that the transition towards high school is difficult, that an imbalance exists among school staff’s roles, and that resources are limited. Finally, parents are satisfied with the teachers’ qualities as well as with the collaboration established among the teaching staff and professionals within the private and public health system. However, cooperation among school professionals and the principals is considered suboptimal.
