This resource is designed for individuals with ASD and those with social communication differences. It helps students recognise their own skills using specific, observable statements rather than vague self-assessment questions, then teaches them to turn those skills into concrete evidence they can use in interviews and applications.

The workbook is a fully interactive, fillable PDF — students click directly into the checkboxes and text boxes to complete it on screen. It can be completed independently or with guidance from a tutor, parent, or support worker.

What is covered:

• Section 1 — Spot Your Skills: six skill categories (Reliability & Organisation, Focus & Attention to Detail, Following Instructions, Working with Others, Solving Problems, Communication), each with specific, behavioural tick-box statements and space for their own
• Section 2 — Turn a Skill Into Evidence: a worked example followed by three guided writing activities to build their own skill evidence
• Section 3 — Matching Your Skills to a Job: a table matching common job advert phrases directly to the student’s own skills
• Section 4 — Personal Reflection: guided reflection questions on which skills were easiest and hardest to recognise
• Section 5 — Skills Others Have Noticed: a structured activity gathering outside observations from people who know the student well, with guidance for setting it as homework between sessions
