“…They may also work with employers to implement strategies to foster skill use and development. Employers can support the use of specialized skills through the process of job carving , by which an employee customizes work activities and tasks to suit an individual's interests and skills, resulting in more concentrated and productive work efforts (Citron et al., 2008; Nietupski & Hamre‐Nietupski, 2000).…”

In recent years, several publications and media outlets have highlighted how the skills and interests of autistic individuals may benefit organizations. However, there is scant empirical research on the topic. The present study's authors conducted a systematic review to find which potential employability skills, strengths, and interests of autistic individuals available research has highlighted. Data extraction methods identified 51 papers related to skills in this population. The skill sets autistic individuals may possess and the research behind these findings were organized, evaluated, and summarized. Based on these findings, investigators discuss implications for employment counseling and future research.

“…As efforts continue to improve school compliance to these requirements, several model transition demonstration programs continue to be implemented for identifying best practices leading to successful postsecondary employment and education outcomes for these young adults (Nietupski et al, 2004; Rutkowski, Daston, Kuiken, & Riehle, 2006). These model programs, over the years, have also provided important data for supporting the developmental theories of transition to adulthood.…”

Career Development and Transition for Exceptional Individuals

Access to effective and comprehensive transition programming is pivotal to transition of youth with disabilities to work and independent living. Successful programs often blend key ingredients, including individualized educational planning, career development, work experiences in secondary school, and interagency partnerships/collaborations. Through a comparative analysis of the New York State transition program data, and the National Longitudinal Transition Study 2 (NLTS2) data, this study empirically demonstrated the simultaneous contributions of various transition program elements to student postsecondary outcomes using mediation models. In addition, the technique of using propensity score analysis for balancing the two comparison cohorts, applied in this study, contributes to the arsenal of analytical techniques for evaluating the impact of transition to adulthood programs.
