All special education students will legally age out of special education in high school after reaching a certain age, but no one legally ages out of attending athletic events at their former high schools. Meanwhile, most high schools have athletic teams that compete in scholastic sports, and some sponsor “booster clubs” that serve to provide volunteers for athletic events and raise additional funds for athletic teams. Listen to an autistic adult describe how membership in his former high school’s booster club helped him adjust to life after secondary education, and how high school special education teachers can utilize booster clubs during the post-secondary transition process.
