There are currently no evidence-based interventions targeting academic EF skills for middle school youth with ASD. An intervention is currently in development. This paper reports on a "proof of concept" uncontrolled trial of the intervention, and focus groups with parents and youth to inform tailoring and adaptation of the intervention. Results of the trial suggest high feasibility/satisfaction, but a need for further adaptation to promote uptake by youth with ASD. Results from the focus groups confirmed the need for an intervention targeting academic EF skills, successful strategies in use, and the need to promote increased youth independence.

Achieving Independence and Mastery in School: An Open Trial in the Outpatient Setting / Leanne TAMM in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 51-5 (May 2021)

There are currently no evidence-based interventions targeting academic EF skills (e.g., organization, prioritization, etc.) for middle school youth with ASD. The need is critical given increasing demands on these skills during the transition from elementary to middle school. An intervention targeting academic EF skills, Achieving Independence and Mastery in School (AIMS), was recently developed. This paper reports on an open trial of the AIMS-Outpatient intervention with 21 middle schoolers with ASD. Results suggest high feasibility/satisfaction, and improved EF, particularly in the domains of organization and materials management. These promising results support further intervention development work and suggest that academic EF skills are malleable in youth with ASD.

Achieving Independence and Mastery in School: A School-Based Executive Function Group Intervention for Autistic Middle Schoolers / Leanne TAMM in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 54-12 (December 2024)

The aim was to assess the initial efficacy of the school-based version of the Achieving Independence and Mastery in School (AIMS) intervention in a pilot randomized clinical trial. 47 autistic middle-schoolers without ID attending nine different schools were randomized to participate in AIMS or to wait to receive AIMS the following semester (waitlist control = WLC). Youth, caregivers, and teachers rated academic EFs and academic functioning, and youth completed an objective EF measure, at baseline and outcome (post). Effect sizes were computed comparing baseline and post measures within each group. Individuals randomized to AIMS improved from baseline to post on academic EF outcome measures with small to moderate effect sizes, compared to WLC, who made some improvements but with generally smaller effect sizes. Analyses with academic functioning measures showed a similar pattern of results. These promising results suggest that AIMS delivered in the school by school-based personnel to small groups of students with ASD without ID can improve academic EF skills.

Clinical correlates of sluggish cognitive tempo in adolescents with autism spectrum disorder / Amie DUNCAN in Autism, 23-6 (August 2019)

Although sluggish cognitive tempo is related to, but distinct from, the inattentive and hyperactive-impulsive symptoms of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder that commonly co-occur with autism spectrum disorder, few studies have examined sluggish cognitive tempo in autism spectrum disorder. We examined whether sluggish cognitive tempo and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder were differentially associated with autism symptomatology, daily life executive functioning, and internalizing and externalizing symptoms in 51 adolescents (ages 13-18 years) with autism spectrum disorder without intellectual disability. Regression analyses controlling for age and IQ showed that sluggish cognitive tempo symptoms, but not attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder symptoms, were associated with increased autism symptomatology and internalizing symptoms. Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder symptoms, but not sluggish cognitive tempo symptoms, were associated with increased externalizing behaviors and behavior regulation deficits. Both sluggish cognitive tempo and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder were independently associated with increased metacognitive deficits. This study provides preliminary evidence that sluggish cognitive tempo symptoms are elevated in autism spectrum disorder and associated with key clinical correlates, with implications for the assessment and treatment in adolescents with autism spectrum disorder.

This study evaluated the efficacy of the Surviving and Thriving in the Real World (STRW) intervention, which targets DLS, compared to an active control group. Autistic adolescents were randomized to STRW or control. The primary outcome was the caregiver-reported Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, 3rd Edition (VABS-3) DLS domain and Personal, Domestic, and Community sub-domains. The secondary outcome was DLS Goal Attainment Scaling (DLS-GAS) caregiver interview. Compared to control (n = 22), autistic teens in STRW (n = 26) made significant improvements on the VABS-3 DLS domain (p = .04) and Domestic sub-domain (p = .01) and the DLS-GAS areas of Cooking, Laundry, and Money Management (all p’s < .05). STRW narrowed the gap between DLS and age as autistic adolescents acquired age-appropriate domestic, personal, and community DLS compared to the control group.
