Dr. Holly Whittenburg is an assistant professor of Special Education in Washington State University's College of Education. She's taken an active role in research dedicated to students with intellectual or developmental disabilities. More specifically, her research focuses on improving employment outcomes for transition-aged students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and intellectual disability. Work is an important part of growing up for most young adults, but students with disabilities often face significant barriers to employment. In her work, Holly examines interventions to teach employment-related skills, investigates approaches to creating more opportunities for inclusive work experiences, and considers how special education and vocational rehabilitation law and policies affect the transition experiences of students with disabilities.
