​
​
STEPS, the Stepped Transition in Education Program for Students and young adults with ASD, is an evidence-based program crafted by Dr. Susan White at the University of Alabama. It aims to empower Autistic teens and young adults to cultivate skills for greater independence and pursue their vocational and educational aspirations. This 12-session program spans 12 to 16 weeks, offering an immersive experience to reinforce acquired skills.
