Participants were 156 individuals with significant impact from ASD between the ages of 18-21. There was a significant difference between treatment and control groups with 73.4% of the treatment group acquiring competitive employment at or above minimum wage by 1-year after graduation compared to 17% of the control group for whom data was provided. At 1-year, employed treatment group participants worked an average of 21.2 h per week (SD?=?9) for a mean hourly wage of $9.61 per hour (SD?=?$1.55).Clinical Trial Registration: clinicaltrials.gov Identifier: NCT03560453.

Reducing the Need for Personal Supports Among Workers with Autism Using an iPod Touch as an Assistive Technology: Delayed Randomized Control Trial / Tony GENTRY in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 45-3 (March 2015)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 45-3 (March 2015) . - p.669-684 Titre : Reducing the Need for Personal Supports Among Workers with Autism Using an iPod Touch as an Assistive Technology: Delayed Randomized Control Trial Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Tony GENTRY, Auteur ; Richard KRINER, Auteur ; Adam SIMA, Auteur ; Jennifer MCDONOUGH, Auteur ; Paul WEHMAN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.669-684 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Autism spectrum disorder  Assistive technology  Employment  Occupational therapy  Vocational rehabilitation Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Personal digital assistants (PDAs) are versatile task organizers that hold promise as assistive technologies for people with cognitive-behavioral challenges. This delayed randomized controlled trial compared two groups of adult workers with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) to determine whether the use of an Apple iPod Touch PDA as a vocational support improves work performance and reduces personal support needs on the job. Baseline data were collected on 50 adults with ASD who were beginning a vocational placement supported by a job coach. Participants were randomized to receive training in the use of a PDA as a vocational aid upon starting their job or after working 12 weeks without PDA support. Workers who received PDA training at the beginning of their job placement required significantly less hours of job coaching support (p = 0.013) during their first 12 weeks on the job than those who had not yet received the intervention. Functional performance between the two groups was not significantly different. The significant difference in hours of job coaching support persisted during the subsequent 12 weeks, in which both groups used a PDA (p = 0.017).
