Funded Project
Online tools for improving WIL accessibility for autistic postsecondary students: an ecosystems approach
SFU, Faculty of Education and Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences Project ongoing
The overarching goal of this project is to research and develop evidence-based, online resources to support each stakeholder group within the ecosystem of WIL, the student, WIL practitioner, and employer. The intent of these resources is to improve the WIL experience for autistic students and employers. This is a first step towards a longer-term goal of creating more integrated and tailored supports in an effort to increase autistic student recruitment and employers’ experiences with these students.
