Brief Summary:
The investigators are looking to evaluate how effective a training program that focuses on character strengths may be in improving job maintenance skills in young adults The investigators are examining the effects of this intervention in young adults who feel they would like to help in improving their satisfaction with work and in keeping their jobs
Detailed Description:
Individuals with autism possess employable and valuable strengths and abilities Unfortunately despite these strengths individuals with autism experience challenges in obtaining and maintaining employment Traditionally the majority of interventions designed for autism including those focused on employment focus on remediating deficits without harnessing the strengths of those with autism This deficit-based approach ie to fix what is deficient in a person with autism has triggered increasing criticism and dissatisfaction from the autism community A growing shift toward strength-based training tools represent a holistic approach to treatment of autistic individuals by acknowledging and using their strengths to improve outcomes To date no strength-based employment programs have been examined in individuals with autism Thus in the current project the investigators aim to develop and test a strength-based employment program At Kessler Foundation the investigators have developed a strength-based training tool Kessler Foundation Strength Identification and Expression KF-STRIDE which targets job interview skills by teaching individuals with autism to identify and express their personal strengths to a future employer In the current proposal the investigators aim to adapt this program to specifically target job maintenance skills
