Social Role Valorisation (SRV)- "The application of what science can tell us about
the enablement, establishment, enhancement, maintenance, and/or defense of valued social roles for people" (Wolfensberger, 1995a).
- The major goal of SRV is to create or support socially valued roles for people in their society.

Transition to Independent Living• “As with all other aspects of Asperger Syndrome, the more
the person with AS understands him or herself and his or her needs in the context of AS, the more successful the housing experience will be”
• Hybrid of OT assessment tools utilised to develop a broad sense of need. (Assessments used included The Lawton Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL) Scale) Focus was primarily on strengths based approach using the principles of SRV.

Transition to AdulthoodLessons learned from Compass:
- Youth and early adulthood are critical times for individuals with AS
- Preparation for transition to adulthood should start in mid-teens- Greater support at younger age managing transition- Family Training necessary to support the transition- Earlier identification and diagnosis necessary- Successful transition can mean the difference between reaching
full potential or living on edge of society.- Community based support is preferential to clinical/disability
service support.
