Employment Follow-up

Hello all,

I truly love how beginning a discussion can bring more resources to the forefront. In yesterday’s blog posting (Employment and Differing Abilities) , I started talking about something that has been in the news as of late – the lower rate of employment for those diagnosed with Autism. Later in the evening, I received my usual newsletter email from the National Center for Learning Disabilities (http://www.ncld.org). I was elated to see information related to employment in the newsletter and thought that I would share the information with you all as well. The links to the pages are listed below. There is a good bit of information on the site, so make sure that you visit some of the other pages that they have posted about jobs as well.

Continued success,

Barbara Erby
