About this trial
the investigators are looking to evaluate the effectiveness of a strength-based program in improving job interview skills in neurodiverse young adults. This program is designed to help participants understand and speak to others about their personal qualities and abilities. The investigators are examining the effects of this program in young adults who may have difficulty with job interviews, and who may want to improve these skills. Some of these young adults have received special education services in the past for learning differences, such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or dyslexia.
