Abstract
Previous research has identified UPGRADE Your Performance as a method for teaching employment soft skills to students with disabilities. UPGRADE Your Performance instruction is a multicomponent intervention including self-evaluation, self-graphing, goal setting, and technology-aided instruction. This pilot study investigated the generalized effects of UPGRADE Your Performance on soft skills of secondary students with intellectual and other developmental disabilities participating in an 18-21 transition program located on a university campus. Results indicated that when students improved in two targeted soft skill areas, generalization occurred to three non-targeted soft skill areas. Implications for practice and suggestions for future research are included.
UPGRADE your performance 对智力和发育障碍学生就业软技能的影响：普及试点研究。
先前的研究发现，UPGRADE Your Performance 是一种向残疾学生传授就业软技能的方法。UPGRADE Your Performance 教学是一种多成分干预措施，包括自我评估、自我图表、目标设定和技术辅助教学。这项试点研究调查了 "UPGRADE Your Performance "对智力和其他发育障碍中学生软技能的普遍影响，这些学生参加了一个位于大学校园内的 18-21 岁过渡项目。研究结果表明，当学生在两个目标软技能领域有所提高时，他们在三个非目标软技能领域也得到了普遍提高。本研究还包括对实践的启示和对未来研究的建议。
期刊介绍：
The principal aim of the journal is to provide a medium for the exchange of best practice, knowledge and research between academic and professional disciplines from education, social and health settings to bring about advancement of services for people with intellectual disabilities. The idea of a practice-led journal is both exciting and timely. This journal serves as a medium for all those involved with people with intellectual disabilities to submit and publish papers on issues relevant to promoting services for people with intellectual disabilities.
