Caution! Avoid These Common Mistakes when Working with Teens with Autism and
Intellectual Disabilities
1. Ignoring the future; Overlooking the importance of social skills in the context of job
skills
2. Random Themes: Be Careful Not to Just Pick Any Topic – Focus on Skills That
Matter.
3. Real-Life Job Skills Matter: Don’t Forget to Teach Practical Job Skills in Teens with
Autism.
4. Meaningless Worksheets: Watch Out for Activities That Don’t Really Help in Real
Life.
5. Losing Sight of the Ultimate Goal: Every Parent’s Dream of Seeing Their Child
Successfully “Hired” One Day
6. Knowing where the finish line is only to realize that time was wasted, and no real
social skills to support job skills were ever taught.
7. Forgetting that helping teens with disabilities succeed takes a village. The earlier
you start with social skills for jobs, the better. It’s a team effort; one person can’t do
it alone
