Increasing Independence in Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorders

Looking for ways to increase the independence of adults on the autism spectrum? The Indiana Resource Center for Autism has posted an article that can help. It begins:
"As adults, we all need to be able to carry out tasks independently whether this is in the area of work, college, daily living skills or leisure activities. This is no different for individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). ‘To Do’ Lists (also known as Work Systems) have been shown to increase on task behavior, number of tasks completed and reduce instructor prompts required for both children and adults with ASD (Hume &Odom, 2007; Hume et al., 2009)."
