Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 4-4 (December 2000) . - p.357-369 Titre : Why and why not? Factors Influencing Employment for Individuals with Asperger Syndrome Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Sophie NESBITT, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.357-369 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The supported employment literature relating to organizational concerns has focused mostly on mild intellectual disability. The purpose of this study is to investigate the area of supported employment for individuals with Asperger syndrome using Prospects - The National Autistic Society’s Supported Employment Service. The study will focus on a comparison of employment factors that influence organizations currently employing an individual with Asperger syndrome with organizations who are not. Findings suggest that many of the items rated as important to both types of organization were related to areas that might typically be difficult for an individual with Asperger syndrome. Organizations using Prospects found items relating to support and information regarding Asperger syndrome to be significantly more important. Organizations not employing an individual with Asperger syndrome focused more on items related to the ability of the individual to behave in certain expected ways. Reasons for differences and implications for service developments and future research are discussed.
