Getting Ready for Life Beyond School in Gregory Hills

Getting Ready for Life Beyond School in Gregory Hills
Life-Skills And Transition Supports For Autistic Teens In Gregory Hills As They Approach Adulthood
Leaving school is a big change for any teenager. For autistic girls, this shift can feel even harder. In Gregory Hills, you can find calm ways to help your teen prepare for life beyond school, step by step.

Why Planning Matters
School gives a clear routine each day. Work, study or life after school can feel unknown and stressful. Many autistic teens worry about travel, new people or unexpected changes.
Planning early helps your child feel more secure. Small steps build trust that they can handle what comes next.
Skills To Practise Before Leaving School
Start with short, simple tasks. Repeat often so they feel natural.
Daily Living Basics
Your child can learn skills they will use every day. Try:
- Using public transport safely.
- Planning a simple meal and shopping list.
- Keeping track of money for small expenses.
- Using a diary or phone calendar.
Local Places To Practise
Gregory Hills is quieter than bigger suburbs. This calm feel helps many teens test new skills without feeling rushed. Local shops, parks and libraries can be safe places to try things like ordering food or asking for help.
Community centres sometimes run youth groups or short skills workshops. Other local families may share trusted groups too.

Understanding School Leaver Supports
What Is SLES?
School Leaver Employment Supports (SLES) help teens move from school to work. This may cover job skills training, workplace visits or practice interviews. SLES works well when started early. Ask your planner if your teen can use this in Gregory Hills.
NDIS Supports That Help
Some families use funding for small work trials or short volunteer roles. This helps your child get used to real work places while still feeling safe.
Your plan can cover:
- Support workers for travel training.
- Life skills coaching for tasks like shopping.
- Occupational therapy to build confidence.
- A local coordinator to link you to trusted services.
Tips For Daily Practice
Praise small wins. Each step makes the next feel easier.
- Use quiet times to try new tasks.
- Let your child order at a café or shop.
- Practise bus or train rides with you first.
- Show them who they can ask for help if lost.

Gregory Hills: A Good Place To Grow
Families in Gregory Hills often know each other. Local shop owners and staff may look out for teens trying new things. This makes practising real-life tasks less stressful.
Use local spots like parks and libraries for gentle outings. They help balance the busy parts of life after school.
