Turning Skills and Strengths into Careers for Young Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder : The Basics College Curriculum Paperback / softback
by Michelle Rigler, Amy Rutherford, Emily Quinn
Part of the The BASICS College Curriculum series
Paperback / softback
Description
The BASICS College Curriculum presents a hands-on approach to learning essential independence and life skills for students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
The third book helps young adults to translate their strengths and interests into possible careers and develop job-hunting skills that will set them on the road to success. Students are shown how to identify their unique skill set, write an effective resume, build a network of contacts, prepare for interviews, and secure that internship position.
Other possible life paths are also explored including continuing in education and studying abroad.
Ideal as a textbook for ASD college programs and suitable for young adults to use for their own self-study, each chapter has a lesson-based progressive structure, providing valuable information and advice for the student, useful diagrams, practical exercises and workbook components that can be filled in at home or in class.
Self-assessment tools ensure the skills from each chapter can be reviewed and adjusted as necessary. The book can be used on its own or in conjunction with the other BASICS curriculum books to further develop essential life skills.
