Prevention of absenteeism and school failure in students with ASD: Improving the transition from primary to secondary school

Students with ASD have sensory needs, this is because their sensory system is impaired because "The nervous system is not able to properly interpret and organize the information captured by the various sensory organs of the body." (Bellefeuille, 2006, p.201). Apart from sensory problems, they can also have behaviour problems due to socio-communicative alterations, stereotyped behaviours, restricted interests and sensory alterations.
