<p dir="ltr">Children with autism may have delayed language skills. Deficits in pragmatic language can affect social interaction with adults and peers and academic performance as more complex language becomes required for reading comprehension and analysis of information (Ibrahimagic et al., 2021 p. 251) This research supports the study question, how can educators prepare children with autism during this transition program? The survey was sent to fifteen participants addressing their insights and experiences of the transition to kindergarten process and the transition strategies that were used in the classroom. The results from the survey indicated that teachers do not know about the transition to kindergarten process. For the transitional practices, 36% of teachers said they used social stories, 9% of teachers used a photo book of new people and school environments, and 27% of teachers used observations of the student in the preschool classroom. This research assisted in the production of a handbook.</p>
