Innovative Supports for Autistic Workers

Innovative Supports for Autistic Workers (ISAW) is a collaborative project, funded by the Office of Vocational Rehabilitation and the Kentucky Office of Autism, and administered by the University of Kentucky’s Human Development Institute. We provide in-person trainings, online modules, and ongoing technical assistance to Kentucky Career Center Business Service Teams as well as HR professionals across the state. Our mission is to advance understanding of the benefits of inclusion and of the needs and strengths of autistic workers.
