Description

Autistic children face challenges to living independently, including learning to manage finances. Caregivers of autistic children must develop in their care recipients the financial skills to live independently. A lack of educational resources on how to teach financial management skills can impede the development of independent living skills in autistic children. Caregivers of autistic children lack the education and training that is necessary to teach financial management skills to autistic children to prepare them for transition to adulthood. Caregivers of autistic children do not know how to help their child learn money management skills in preparation for the transition to early adulthood. The purpose of this project was to create a guidebook for caregivers of autistic children on how to teach their care recipients the development of financial management skills. An educational guidebook has been created to fill the gap in caregiver education and training on how to teach their care recipients the development of financial management skills. The guidebook will enable caregivers the ability to develop financial management skills in their care recipients as they prepare for adulthood.
