It presents a work experience curriculum geared towards equipping the person with ASD with the knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary for successful employment. It provides helpful strategies for teaching specific skills, as well as discussion points for topics such as goal setting and responding appropriately to praise and criticism. The eight chapters of the book are sequenced in a systematic logical way. The reproducible worksheets, checklists and charts are clear and well set out. Useful resources, such as books and websites, are identified at the end of the book.
