title = "Teaching Employment Skills to People with Intellectual and Developmental Disability",
abstract = "Equipping youth and young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities with strong employment skills can help them thrive in the workforce. The purpose of this chapter is to review research-based practices in employment skills that can enhance their success in the workplace. We begin by describing the types of skills---both performance related and interpersonal---that are valued in the workplace. We then review effective instructional approaches for teaching these skills in ways that promote their acquisition, maintenance, and generalization. We detail a step-by-step approach for providing instruction and support in this area, illustrating each aspect using a case example. We conclude with recommendations for future research aimed at elevating employment outcomes for this population.",
