Abstract | This vocational program book is intended to assist vocational rehabilitation counselors in moving toward the goal of community employment for people with autism. The first section considers vocational issues for this population and discusses the following: autism and work, educational experiences/programming, vocational evaluations, purposes of behavior, communication skills, social skills, sensory stimulation, instruction, support systems, interests and strengths, motivation, staff training, and phases of a supported work model for use with people with autism. The next section looks at longitudinal planning, including the parents' perspective and role and the development of work behaviors (e.g., communication, social skills, rate and production, and accuracy and quality). The last section looks at the transition from school to work, including responsibilities for the transition process, the role of the Indiana Office of Vocational Rehabilitation, the transition planning timeline, related federal laws, and Indiana state laws. Appendices provide additional information on: characteristics of people with autism, employment programs, examples of jobs that people with autism have done successfully, guidelines for individual assessment, a vocational evaluation checklist, individual assessment of support systems, the use of adaptations and enablers, a sample task analysis, and a sample resume.
