In this spotlight summary, we briefly describe evaluation design options for future evidence-building activities around four programs that aim to improve employment outcomes for young adults on the autism spectrum.

These conversations helped us understand the feasibility of and challenges associated with evaluating existing, expanded, or adapted versions of these programs.
