Abstract
Individuals with an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) diagnosis consistently have some of the most dismaying employment related statistics. To address this issue, this study evaluated video modeling, an evidence-based procedure, in teaching professional e-mailing skills to individuals diagnosed with ASD when applying for a job. Results of the study support video modeling as an effective job skill teaching tool. Significant skill acquisition in composing a professional e-mail occurred across all participants. Seventy-five percent of participants concluded the study at mastery level. Implications of this study are immediately impactful on the ASD community as a new evidence-based transition tool can be made readily available. Use of this tool to acquire the professional e-mailing skill will add to the job-seeking skill set and may increase the likelihood of achieving gainful employment.
