Wearing a variety of hats, Alisa Miller has conducted research, written and edited instructional content, overseen pilot testing groups, and collaborated with an amazing Project Advisory Team to help make the Virtual Job Coach a reality. Alisa's son is on the autism spectrum. “As the VJC has grown, so has my son. When he was seventeen, he wanted to get a part-time job. I had him use parts of the VJC, and we worked together on the partner support guides. When he went for his first interview, he was hired on the spot. Seeing the effectiveness of the project firsthand is affirmation for all the hard work so many people have devoted and makes me proud to have been a part of the VJC.”
