简要总结
This project will pilot-test an Independent Life Skills Program (ILSP) for people with Autism Spectrum Disorder. The ILSP was developed by a group of occupational therapists at Heep Hong Society based on the theories of self-regulated learning, life management, and self-management. The ILSP is a comprehensive program covering different life skills, including personal management, home management, community integration and self-management. These life skills are essential for transitioning from young adulthood and are predictors of successful transition.
详细描述
Acquiring daily life skills, including personal management, home management, community integration, and self-management, is crucial for enhancing quality of life and promoting autonomous living. However, individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), encompassing both adolescents and adults, often face challenges and demonstrate limited levels of independence when it comes to engaging in these daily living skills.
This pilot testing aims to investigate the feasibility and acceptability of the ILSP for individuals with ASD. It will also pilot-test the benefits of daily living skills and confidence.

结局指标
主要结局
Goal Attainment Scaling (GAS)
时间窗: Before the intervention period, and at the end of the intervention period at 14 weeks
The GAS takes into account that individuals have varying starting points and different desired outcomes based on their unique strengths and challenges. It is proven to be useful in reflecting personalised outcomes in intervention studies for adults with autism. The GAS uses a 5-point scale to create goals and measure progress, with -2 representing the baseline skill level. Progression from -2 to -1 indicates progress (50% better performance), and progression from -2 to 0 indicates the expected level of outcome (100% better performance).
次要结局
- Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL) Confidence Questionnaire(Before the intervention period, and at the end of the intervention period at 14 weeks)
- IADL Competency Test(Before the intervention period, and at the end of the intervention period at 14 weeks)
- Lawton Instrumental Activities of Daily Living Scale - Hong Kong version (IADL Scale)(Before the intervention period, and at the end of the intervention period at 14 weeks)
