207: Adults with Autism: From Post-Secondary into the Workplace
Tweet Share
Autism spectrum disorders, especially in high functioning individuals are often referred to as a 'hidden disability' and may appear to be an attitude or behaviour problem. An ever-growing number of individuals with ASD are in both post-secondary institutions and the workplace. Using current research findings and best practices, we will discuss ASD and how to support the career development of these individuals.

Learning outcomes:
  • Explore and apply the current research findings to our work
  • Learn about best practices and how to integrate them
  • Reflect on future directions re: ASD and career development
