Slide 9: SMART Goals

Trainer’s Notes:

Autistic employees can greatly benefit from support in setting career goals, with supervisors

playing a key role in helping them develop SMART goals.

These goals are specific, meaning they are clearly defined and narrowly focused to simplify
tracking progress and achieving milestones; measurable, incorporating quantifiable

outcomes to effectively monitor advancement; achievable, ensuring they are realistic and

attainable to foster motivation and confidence; realistic, aligning with the employee’s
available resources such as skills, knowledge, experience, and support systems; and timely,
including clear deadlines and timelines to provide structure and focus.

Integrating SMART goals into support programs for Autistic employees allows for regular
reviews during performance evaluations and assessments of job satisfaction, thereby

enhancing their career development and overall workplace experience.
