Co-chairs: Hala Annabi, Andrew Begel, and Lawrence Fung
The Second Annual Autism at Work Research Workshop, co-sponsored by The University of Washington Information School, Microsoft Research, and the Stanford Neurodiversity Project. It will be collocated with the Autism @ Work Summit, sponsored by the Autism at Work Employer Roundtable in Redmond, WA USA on May 29-31, 2019.
The Autism at Work Research Workshop brings together a small select group of leading scholars concerned with autism employment. Their work may relate to the preparation, recruitment, persistence, and advancement of individuals with autism in the workplace. Our objectives are to
- Build a community of scholars and practitioners concerned with issues related to the preparation and employment of individuals with autism
- Provide a collaborative space for scholars to share their work and receive constructive feedback in order to advance autism employment research
- Further develop a research agenda to advance evidence-based practices to equitably include individuals with autism in the workplace
The Autism at Work Research Workshop will include short 2-minute Lightning Talks to give participants an opportunity to introduce themselves and their work, two panels to facilitate dialogue between the research and practitioner communities, an agenda-setting session, and paper presentations. The workshop will also include round table discussion of research ideas, extended abstracts, and research-in-progress papers. The Research Workshop will conclude with a group dinner.
