A prework assessment of task preferences among adults with autism beginning a supported job.
Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis,
35, 85-88.
A prework paired-task assessment was evaluated for identifying
work preferences among 3 adults with autism beginning a supported
job. When the workers began the job, choices were provided
between more and less preferred tasks (determined by previous
assessment). Results supported the assessment for identifying
single task preferences, but did not reveal preferences of 2
workers for alternate tasks. Results are discussed in terms of
evaluating other prework assessments that may reveal
task-alternation preferences.
