Objectives: This case study report investigated the use of visual imagery to enhance sequencing of a work task in an individual with executive functioning impairment due to Asperger's Syndrome.

Participant: This individual's job was at risk due to his inability to correctly sequence his assigned work task in a busy pizza parlor.

Methods: Visual imagery training was administered to the client at work by a therapist employed as a job coach.

Results: After six 15 minute daily sessions of visual imagery training, the client was able to perform the work task independently.

Conclusions: The use of visual imagery may have been associated with the ability of this individual to perform more independently on this job task.
