Transition to kindergarten of children with autism spectrum disorder: A narrative literature review
It is recognized that the transition to school is a crucial and complex step for all children and their families, and particularly for children with special needs. The purpose of this narrative literature review is to identify how the transition to kindergarten for children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) has been addressed in the scientific literature, based on the results of 13 studies from 2004 to 2019. This synthesis highlights the main indicators used to assess the quality and success of this transition. In addition, challenges are identified, particularly in relation to communication/collaboration involving practitioners and parents as well as the process of individualizing the transition.
