Competitive Employment and Autism Spectrum Disorder

Wanietta C. Stuckey M.Ed., a graduate student from Ball State University, is writing a dissertation on Competitive Employment and Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). The goal is to understand business leaders’ perspectives about individuals with ASD and how this may influence competitive employment. By understanding what employers seek in an employee during the hiring process as well as their views about ASD, program training individuals with ASD can be appropriately designed to increase the likelihood competitive employment will increase for this population.

 

Business leaders are being sought for this research project, which involves completing a 13-question survey taking no more than 5 minutes. The survey is set up so that all responses are confidential (not even Wanietta will know who provided which response). The intended audience is members of Rotary Clubs because of our motto of “Service above Self” which Wanietta believes suggests we might have an interest in learning more about the workplace and people with disabilities.
