They completed the checklist provided. Results: The difference between suitability of program contents for all study groups in stage 1 and stage 2 was not significant. But the difference between teaching methods for students with autism and the other two groups was significant. Conclusion: In first stage of high school workshop facilities are not used directly. In the second stage of high school, many of workshop equipment are not provided. In terms of content of vocational training, there is no significant difference among groups.
