Education And Employment

Graduating from high school and moving to the next phase of life can be difficult for any student but is particularly so for those with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Social and communication difficulties, sensory concerns, and narrow interests can negatively affect these students’ opportunity for postsecondary education and employment. Preparing students with ASD for post-school success may be especially challenging in rural schools, due to limited opportunities and resources. This article describes a rural high school transition services program designed to support students with ASD and other disabilities in becoming gainfully employed after high school or accessing post-secondary education. The program, designed by a student’s transition team starting in Grade 9, is based on recommendations from the literature and includes inclusion and co-teaching, work skills classes, collaboration with outside agencies, and the development of a student portfolio.

Work Experience Program

A work-experience program executed by Royal Philips N.V. temporarily employs people with an autism spectrum disorder for one to a year and a half to prepare them for external employment. Results indicate a 29% increase in post-five-year employment for participants than the control group entitled to public support. However, no effect was found on employment with a competitive salary, only for the post-second year. Inclusivity enhances the careers of people with autism, but their potential to establish employment with a competitive salary on a permanent contract remains limited.

Mastery Criteria

Video modeling (VM) has demonstrated efficacy in teaching a variety of skills (e.g., social skills, communication, vocational tasks) to learners with autism spectrum disorder. Previous research indicates teachers and learners have supported the use of VM. However, the majority of studies have focused on elementary-school students; less research has explored the use of VM in secondary education settings. To extend the literature, this article describes the use of VM with three high school student–teacher dyads. Each teacher adapted the VM intervention to meet the needs of their student as well as to fit with the current technology available and utilized in their classrooms. All of the three students learned a different target skill with VM and achieved mastery criteria. Results for the three student skills, as well as implementation guidelines and future directions, are discussed.
