In 2008 an Adapted version of the curriculum was developed for students with severe, profound and moderate intellectual disabilities. These versions were designed to increase students’ knowledge of career areas and increase their functional performance of career-ready tasks. The purpose of this beta testing was to determine if the adaptations made to the adapted curriculum for Project Discovery increased the knowledge and skills in specific career areas for adolescents and young adults with autism and other developmental disabilities. Specifically, this beta test targeted two kits: Childcare and Table Service. The average percent increase across all students and sites for Childcare was 55.3%. In Table Service kit, each site had growth from the first to last lesson across all activities. The ability to make changes to the curriculum to differentiate for multiple learning needs makes this curriculum especially appropriate and effective for a variety of learners with autism and other developmental disabilities.  Spriggs, A.
