Son with ASD - help into work
Options

I have a son with ASD. He finishes at college this year. He is studying the BTECs in Law and Business Studies and has sadly just flunked a module in his AAT accountancy level 3 qualification though he plans to continue the course this year and will retake any outstanding modules in Sept. 2018. I would be really grateful if @Chell could get back to me with advice about what can be done to help him into work - ideally in an accountancy firm or in some kind of business apprenticeship or traineeship. He is high functioning ASD or possibly Asperger. THANK YOU!

There may be a supported employment service where you live that could offer your son support to apply for jobs/work experience and offer support to the employers to meet his needs. Alternatively have you contacted any local apprenticeship schemes-they may be able to help. Good luck!

Thank you so much for your reply, we have a meeting at the college this week about potential apprenticeships and can ask about any supported employment services in the area. Thanks again!
