Abstract

Individuals with high functioning autism (HFA) have the ability to perform job tasks sufficiently or even beyond expectations, however the social and behavioral impairments common among individuals with high functioning autism can act as a roadblock to obtaining and sustaining employment. Early preparation and practice building professional and interpersonal skills will help individuals with HFA demonstrate that they have the potential to be an asset to the workforce.

Description

COMMUNITY PARTNERS: We were lucky enough to partner with Aspirations Ohio; a social and vocational support group for individuals with high functioning autism.; Our project served as a spin-off to traditional Aspirations groups and focused solely on employment.
