12 3.4 | Expectations of Workload

You will be expected to manage your own workload and to notify your coordinator if you are concerned about the number of projects you are working on or if you need a project to work on. You will be expected to always have a project that you can work on from home (for example, a writing project) in case of an unanticipated absence due to weather, illness, car troubles, etc. All projects should be approved by Dr. Neal, Dr. Swiezy or your coordinator before you begin working on them. All projects should be listed and tracked on your project list. You are expected to meet the deadlines for all projects and any concerns about meeting a particular deadline should be expressed at least one week in advance of the pending deadline.

Sample projects include: writing an article on assessments for the HANDS website, researching peer training methods, assisting in preparation for a training, developing an annotated list of articles on social stories, or performing a literature search on autism knowledge surveys.
