About this item

The BASICS College Curriculum presents a hands-on approach to learning essential independence and life skills for students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) . This 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 college programs run by disability support services and suitable for young adults to use for their own self-study, each lesson provides valuable information and advice, useful diagrams, practical exercises and workbook components that can be filled in at home or in class, and self-assessment tools.
