Removing employment barriers for New Jerseyans with disabilities

Dr. Kahng and team’s research addresses this issue by training the RCAAS participants in this study on how to apply for a job, how to answer interview questions, and how to advocate for oneself. He explains that “everyone in the study performed better when coached one-on-one compared to being part of a group.”

Dr. SungWoo Kahng and his collaborative research, “An individualized approach to teaching adults with autism to successfully navigate job interviews via remote instruction” was featured in the New Jersey Monitor article, "Removing employment barriers for New Jerseyans with disabilities.” The article highlights the high unemployment rates that individuals with disabilities experience and their difficulties in finding jobs where employers will exhibit patience to train them effectively.
