Our comprehensive curriculum includes thirteen individual lessons/modules that fit into three categories: Foundational Information, Soft Skills and Social Skills, and Job Readiness. These lessons build upon one another, providing users with resources to support their work on all levels.The most beneficial way to move through the curriculum is moving from one section to the next. By completing them in this order, you will receive information that builds upon previously covered content.

Social Skills & Soft Skills
Social skill deficits are a primary feature of autism spectrum disorders. Although these challenges present themselves differently in each individual, it is important to understand how these deficits may impact a person’s success when seeking and sustaining employment. Our social implications module lays out these considerations.

- Networking
- Self Determination
Job Readiness
These final modules focus on the “nitty gritty” of the career development process. The lessons will equip you with information about how all of these pieces of the career preparation puzzle may look a bit different for neurodiverse students and provide you with tools to help ensure success.
