The Vanderbilt Kennedy Center (VKC)(TN IDDRC, UCEDD, LEND) has collaborated with local partners to create a free toolkit and online course, now available for dissemination. "Supporting Teens and Young Adults on the Autism Spectrum: Setting and Pursuing Self-Determined Goals" is designed to help parents and caregivers, teachers, siblings, service providers, and others who support teens and young adults on the autism spectrum as they set and pursue self-determined goals. Teens and adults on the autism spectrum may also find this toolkit helpful. This toolkit may also be beneficial to people who support individuals with a range of disabilities.

At the bottom are two images of program facilitators sitting with young adults on the autism spectrum as they discuss the goal-setting product.
