With difficulties related to behavior, communication, cognition, and
sensory processing, people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have a
hard time not only finding a job, but keeping the job as well. In the
United States, just 15% of adults struggling with ASD are getting paid
for some type of work. However, according to new research, people with the disorder are able to work more efficiently with the task management and organizational features on personal digital assistants (PDAs).
The research consisted of case studies that demonstrated the use of
Apple® iPod touch® PDAs as vocational supports, which was published in
the Journal of Vocational Rehabilitation.
