Résumé : |
Adolescents and young adults with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) frequently experience social isolation and vocational failure. Although social skills groups are vital, relatively few model programs have been developed for this age group. This article reviews the model and evaluation of the Aspirations program, an 8-week social and vocational skills support group for adolescents and young adults with ASD. Self-report measures, including appraisal of peer relations and empathy, were completed pre- and post-Aspirations. Data from structured observations were also examined for changes in frequency of contributions made by group members over the course of the program. In addition, notes taken during staff meetings and feedback sessions with group members, and separately with their parents, were reviewed for further evidence of the program's success. The results from these measures support the efficacy of the Aspirations program and provide insight into implementing a successful model for this population. |
