简要总结
The main objective of the current proposal is to conduct a pilot RCT (i.e., treatment group and social skills control group) to examine how participation in Surviving and Thriving in the Real World (STRW) Intervention affects proximal outcomes with a larger sample size (n = 72). As social skills, executive functioning, and parenting factors have been linked to the acquisition of Daily Living Skills (DLS), the current study will also explore how these are linked to participation in STRW. Lastly, goal attainment scaling (GAS) will be utilized, along with gold standard parent report and adolescent self-report measures, to assess DLS.
详细描述
Individuals with high functioning autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are not developing the skills necessary to successfully transition from adolescence to college, employment, and independent living.
Daily living skills have been linked to positive adult outcome in individuals with ASD.
Despite the importance of daily living skills to adult outcome, adolescents with high functioning ASD have impaired daily living skills.
A complex set of environmental, individual, and family factors likely affect the ability of adolescents with high functioning ASD to acquire critical daily living skills.
There are currently no evidence-based daily living skills intervention packages for adolescents with high functioning ASD that would prepare them for independence in adulthood.

结局指标
主要结局
Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, 3rd Edition
时间窗: 4 months (from baseline to post-intervention)
The VABS-3 is a well-established standardized measure of adaptive behavior that assesses skills in the Communication, Daily Living Skills, and Socialization domains. The Daily Living Skills domain is comprised of the Personal, Domestic, and Community subdomains and has items that directly correspond to goals being targeted in the STRW intervention. We are reporting the average (mean) Daily Living Skills Domain Raw Scores, both at baseline at post-treatment. The range for total raw score for the entire domain is 0 to 286. The higher the score, the more independent they are at overall daily living skills.
