Fostering a Workforce of Equal Opportunity in Alberta: An analysis of adolescent transitional supports for students with Autism Spectrum Disorder
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This paper analyzes the services provided to Albertans who have been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) as they transition from childhood to adulthood. The assessment of the services provided will be based on a review of the existing literature. For the purpose of this paper, childhood is defined as the time when someone is eligible for publically funded education in Alberta. The transition to adulthood takes place when the person is no longer eligible for publically funded education. For some students diagnosed with ASD, this can be up to 20 years of age, or grade twelve, whichever comes first. This document aims to make a case for the increase and modification of current services provided by the Government of Alberta for individuals diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Individuals diagnosed with ASD transitioning from publically funded education into the labour market require greater support from our government and community. It is in the best interest for individuals diagnosed with ASD, the greater community, government and economy, to include all productive and capable individuals in the labour market. From a financial perspective, once public investment has been made in the education of a student diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, it does not make sense to discontinue supporting the individual as soon as their education concludes.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
