Description

Young adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) are often disconnected from their communities, including experiencing lower rates of employment and higher rates of underemployment compared to their peers. This talk highlights strategies to promote employment and engagement within the community. We will highlight educational and coaching strategies, as well as evidence-based interventions that focus on improving employment outcomes for adults with ASD.
