Vocational Training (VT) helps older children and young adults with autism learn the skills necessary for employment. This therapy focuses on teaching job-related skills, work habits, and social interactions that will support their future employment opportunities.
VT focuses on teaching practical, real-world job skills in a structured and supportive environment. Therapists work with children and young adults to help them develop appropriate workplace behaviors, such as following instructions, working in teams, and managing time effectively. Vocational skills are taught through hands-on activities, job simulations, and internships in a variety of fields.
Vocational Training is most beneficial for older children, teens, or young adults with autism who are approaching adulthood and may be looking to enter the workforce. It is ideal for those who need to develop skills for future employment or become more independent in a work environment.
