Guest guest Posted November 7, 2006 Report Posted November 7, 2006 Hi - Yes, the portfolio is key to organizing information so it is in one place when it is time to start the job search process. In my opinion, you want to keep information that will aid the job search process as well as aid job placement professionals in getting to know your son. You can simply use a three ring binder to place information in and you want to keep things like information on any job, job training, or volunteer experience that your son has. You want write ups or job descriptions related to these experiences as well as letters of references from supervisors of these experience. You also want to keep important inforation about your son in here. What are his skills? interests? future dreams? What are some of his barriers? What are strategies that have been used by school to address these? Put any sample social stories or scripts or other social supports in there. The portfolio should be a representation of who you son is, what he wants to do, what he has done, and how to support him best.

As my oldest is starting high school in a year, I believe we would start building this shortly. I would like a little clarification on the process as well as some ideas as he is non-verbal and fairly low functioning on the spectrum. Thanks in advance, Quote
