As part of our effort to get the word out about the need for more robust services for adults with disabilities, we invited two passionate supporters of this important work, Dr. Sungwoo Kahng and Dr. Christopher Manente. We learn all about recent replications and novel extensions supporting the autonomy and employment skills of autistic adult clients, as well as some of the benefits and challenges specific to supporting this population.
