    Details

    Who knows better about developing the talents of those with autism than Temple Grandin? This updated and expanded third edition of Developing Talents considers the continuing dismal employment statistics for individuals with autism. The authors take an in-depth look at entrepreneurship and many other options.

    Using real-life examples, Grandin and Duffy note that many of the unique characteristics of individuals on the autism spectrum lend themselves well to entrepreneurial ventures. The book explores many unnoticed aspects of vocational rehabilitation programs that provide job training and placement for people with disabilities, as well as Social Security Administration programs that offer vocational assistance. Employment figures and prospects have been updated, and new jobs have been added that are well suited for those on the spectrum.

    The book, Developing Talents (9781957984711) [Order Bulk Books, Wholesale, Quantity Discount] with ISBN# 9781957984711 in by Temple Grandin, Kate Duffy, may be ordered in class sets of books and bulk children's books for your classroom novel set needs. Minimum orders start at copies.
