Virtual Training May Help Young People With Autism Land Jobs

Practicing job interview skills using a virtual simulator could significantly increase the odds that young adults with autism find employment, new research suggests.
In a study looking at people on the spectrum ages 16 to 26, researchers found that individuals who participated in a virtual employment training program were much more likely than those who only received typical pre-employment transition services to get hired within six months.
The study published this month in the journal Autism involved 71 students with autism receiving school-based pre-employment services, 48 of whom also spent several hours doing the computer-based simulator exercises.
