Particular difficulties identified for college students with ASD include variability in social skills, social isolation, and reduced access to appropriate support and services. Research on effective interventions supporting college students with ASD is considerably lacking. This pilot study sought to address this area of need by modifying the Program for the Education and Enrichment of Relational Skills (PEERS) for Young Adults, a social skills training program for young adults with autism, for use on a college campus. Following the intervention, participants showed improvements in areas of social functioning that are particularly important for college students with ASD, including overall social functioning, social awareness, social motivation, social cognition, and knowledge of social skills. This study is an important step toward the development of effective interventions that address social competence specifically for young adults with autism in postsecondary educational environments.","PeriodicalId":12133,"journal":{"name":"Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46467409","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data were collected on participants’ accuracy in conversing with coworkers through mock conversations and in situ trials in internship settings. Findings demonstrated a functional relation between the implementation of the intervention package and increases in skill accuracy on in situ trials for all participants. Substantive improvements in participants’ mock conversation scores within training settings were also noted. Findings highlight the importance of in situ training and how video modeling can be incorporated within a BST instructional sequence.","PeriodicalId":12133,"journal":{"name":"Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45634407","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examined qualitative responses from teachers regarding their knowledge of ASD-specific EBPs and the strategies used in their own classrooms. Results found that about a quarter of the sample of teachers surveyed correctly identified at least one ASD-specific EBP and reported using at least one ASD-specific EBP in their classrooms. While just more than half of a subsample of teachers reported using at least one ASD-specific EBP in their classrooms, just less than half accurately identified and categorized these practices as such. These findings highlight gaps and discrepancies in teachers’ reported knowledge and application of ASD-specific EBPs and point to the importance of continued education to increase evidence-based classroom practices.","PeriodicalId":12133,"journal":{"name":"Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46437190","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For example, they may have difficulties solving mathematical word problems, in particular Cartesian product problems. This research is a case study with a multiple probe design in which the participants were three students diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. A conceptual model-based problem-solving approach adapted to the characteristics of the participants was used to teach them how to solve Cartesian product word problems introduced sequentially in the instruction (first multiplication, then division, and finally both operations). The results show a functional relationship between the intervention and the students’ performance. The three participants generalized their learning to two-operation Cartesian product problems (an addition and a multiplication). Moreover, two of them retained what they learned 6 weeks after completing the instruction. The implications for teaching this and other mathematical content to students with autism are discussed.","PeriodicalId":12133,"journal":{"name":"Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47292018","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on data from 40 instructor/student dyads, we found the following: First, based on phone interviews, instructors identified a number of significant barriers to the creation of SEL IEP goals for this population, including lack of ability to reliably assess students’ SEL strengths and needs, lack of a goal builder/goal bank, and lack of comprehensive, data-driven support for generating SEL goals and tracking progress toward goal mastery. Interviewees agreed that IvySCIP effectively addressed these barriers. Second, based on a comparison of pre-intervention SEL IEP goals and those created using the IvySCIP goal builder, the quality of instructors’ IEP goals appeared to improve after introduction of the goal builder, with post-intervention goals significantly more likely to include settings, givens, specific/demonstrable behavior being targeted, and measurement criteria to ensure meaningful progress monitoring. Post-intervention goals also drew more equitably from a range of SEL domains.","PeriodicalId":12133,"journal":{"name":"Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42471954","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, research is limited to assess the efficiency of the majority of the apps available for educational purposes. This study was conducted to determine whether the addition of video modeling via an app to ongoing classroom instruction could increase eye contact with familiar and unfamiliar people in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). An experimental pretest–posttest control group design was applied with a full intervention group, a partial intervention group, and a control group. Forty-four U.S. students diagnosed with ASD, in kindergarten through third grade, engaged with social skill modules using an iPad app called We Are Friends. The frequency and duration of eye contact were measured. A 3-month follow-up test was given to determine maintenance. Results suggest the addition of the app was effective in increasing eye contact in children with ASD with both familiar and unfamiliar individuals.","PeriodicalId":12133,"journal":{"name":"Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42002657","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, to date, virtual manipulatives have not been examined or classified as an evidence-based practice for students with ASD/IDD, despite classifications of virtual manipulatives as evidence-based for students with learning disabilities (LD; Park, Bouck, & Fisher, 2021) and concrete manipulatives as evidence-based for students with ASD/IDD (Spooner et al., 2019). The purpose of this review was to assess the current state of the literature on virtual manipulatives and determine whether virtual manipulatives are an evidence-based practice for students with ASD/IDD. Eighteen of the 24 articles located for the review met quality indicators according to Cook et al. (2014) and presented positive results for the 42 students.

Following acquisition, preference of response mode was evaluated for each participant. Both AAC systems were made available simultaneously during FCT sessions, and data were collected on participants’ initiation of functional communication (FC) on each modality. Findings indicated FC responses with the picture-based communication system and the SGD were acquired with similar rates by both participants. Furthermore, both participants demonstrated a consistent preference for the SGD as compared with the picture-based communication system. Both participants generalized the preferred FCT mode (i.e., SGD) to their classroom setting with their classroom teacher.
