Individual Work System for Structured Work Completion

Individual Work System is a ready-to-complete-together tool for practitioners supporting autistic learners. It helps the practitioner define what work to do, how much work is expected, how the learner knows it is finished, and what comes next so the learner can participate in work routines with greater independence.

Required Work-System Elements

A complete setup must show what work, how much work, when the work is finished, and what comes next.

Observation Use

Tracking is optional and descriptive. Missing observations are not treated as noncompletion.

History Limits

Historical comparison depends on similar task demands and representation; changes to difficulty or setup should remain visible.

Is the next-step cue optional?

No. A next-step cue is required for the work-system meaning and an absent cue makes setup incomplete.

Does this tool create task content for me?

No. The practitioner provides the assigned work, sequence, amount, finish criteria, and next step.

Can interrupted work be resumed?

Yes. Interrupted work should preserve completed tasks or allow the practitioner to reset for the next use.

Does the tool score independence?

No. It can record descriptive completion, independence, and prompting observations without unsupported scales.
