Effects of Counselling Intervention on Career Transition Outcomes Among Students With ASD
Abstract
This paper investigated the effects of a structured counselling intervention on the career transition process of students with autism spectrum disorders (SASD). The quantitative one-group pretest-posttest design was used, and eight adolescents with high-functioning autism were engaged to undergo a six-week counselling programme. Paired samples t-test results showed a statistically significant improvement between pretest and posttest, as well as a sustained improvement in the work readiness, vocational confidence, and independence in career planning among SASD.
