The literature, however, suggests that incorporating the student with ASD’s special interests into activities may help improve their socialization with typical peers. Within the context of a multiple baseline across participants design, we implemented lunchtime activities incorporating the adolescent with ASD’s preferred interests that were similar to ongoing activities already available at the schools. Results showed this increased both level of engagement and their rate of initiations made to typical peers. Social validation measures suggest that both adolescents with ASD and typical peers enjoyed participating in these activities and that the results generalized to other similar activities.

Navigating the Transition to Adulthood: Insights from Caregivers of Autistic Individuals / Samara M. Wolpe ; Amanda R. Johnson ; Sunny KIM in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 55-1 (January 2025)

Wolpe, Auteur ; Amanda R. Johnson, Auteur ; Sunny KIM, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.166-180 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : With many teens having to transition from a mainly educational system of support to a set of health and social service systems (Shattuck et al. in Autism Res Treat https://doi.org/10.1155/2014/924182, 2017), there is a critical need to advance research and support services in the area of autism and transition to aid autistic* individuals and their families. This study aims to learn more about the experiences of caregivers of autistic young adults, their experiences navigating the transition process post-graduation, and what realistic steps could be undertaken by high schools, vocational schools, colleges, Regional Centers, and places of employment to ease this transition. Ten semi-structured interviews were conducted with caregivers of autistic young adults over the age of 18 focused on their experiences helping their children navigate the transition to adulthood. Using an iterative and inductive coding approach, three overarching themes were uncovered with twelve subthemes. The three major themes recurring in caregiver interviews were their experiences with navigating service receipt, exploring the landscape of opportunities available for their children, and the parent experiences specific to their role in their child?s transition into adulthood. Findings from this study provide a chance for stakeholders to learn from the lived experiences of caregivers navigating the frustration and confusion pertaining to transition for their autistic adult child due to the highly prohibitive access to service receipt, experiencing significant financial burdens, finding a niche for their children that fits their needs, desires, and talents, and managing their well-being.

Training Paraprofessionals to Improve Socialization in Students with ASD / Robert L. KOEGEL in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 44-9 (September 2014)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 44-9 (September 2014) . - p.2197-2208 Titre : Training Paraprofessionals to Improve Socialization in Students with ASD Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Robert L. KOEGEL, Auteur ; Sunny KIM, Auteur ; Lynn KERN KOEGEL, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2197-2208 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Paraprofessional  Training  Autism  Socialization  School Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : An important line of research relates to whether school personnel, such as paraprofessionals, who are present during unstructured social periods, such as lunch-recess, could successfully implement interventions to improve socialization between students with ASD and their typical peers in a group setting. Therefore, within the context of a multiple baseline across participants design, we assessed whether training paraprofessionals to provide social interventions would enhance social development in students with ASD in a group setting. Results showed that paraprofessionals who were not providing any social opportunities during baseline were able to meet fidelity of implementation following a brief training. Consequently, the children with ASD increased their levels of engagement and rates of initiation with typically developing peers following intervention. Implications for training paraprofessionals to implement effective social interventions for students with ASD are discussed.
