From high school to postsecondary education, training, and employment: Predicting outcomes for young adults with autism spectrum disorder / Scott H. YAMAMOTO in Autism & Developmental Language Impairments, 7 (January-December 2022)

YAMAMOTO, Auteur ; Charlotte Y. ALVERSON, Auteur Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  post-school outcomes  predictive analytics  multilevel logistic regression  machine learning  receiver operating characteristic curve Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background and AimsThe fastest growing group of students with disabilities are those with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). States annually report on post-high school outcomes (PSO) of exited students. This study sought to fill two gaps in the literature related to PSO for exited high-school students with ASD and the use of state data and predictive modeling.MethodsData from two states were analyzed using two predictive analytics (PA) methods: multilevel logistic regression and machine learning. The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis was used to assess predictive performance.ResultsData analyses produced two results. One, the strongest predictor of PSO for exited students with ASD was graduating from high school. Two, machine learning performed better than multilevel logistic regression in predicting PSO engagement across the two states.ConclusionThis study contributed two new and important findings to the literature: (a) PA models should be applied to state PSO data because they produce useful information, and (b) PA models are accurate and reliable over time.ImplicationsThese findings can be used to support state and local educators to make decisions about policies, programs, and practices for exited high school students with ASD, to help them successfully transition to adult life.

High School to College: Transition Experiences of Young Adults With Autism / Charlotte Y. ALVERSON in Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 34-1 (March 2019)  

Public ISBD [article]  inFocus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities > 34-1 (March 2019) . - p.52-64 Titre : High School to College: Transition Experiences of Young Adults With Autism Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Charlotte Y. ALVERSON, Auteur ; Lauren E. LINDSTROM, Auteur ; Kara A. HIRANO, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.52-64 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Youth with disabilities are less likely to enroll and complete postsecondary education than their nondisabled peers. Using a qualitative, cross-case design, we investigated the high school to college transition experiences of young adults diagnosed with Asperger syndrome (AS). Data sources included a family questionnaire, review of special education records, and multiple individual interviews (N = 27) with young adults with AS, family members, teachers, and rehabilitation counselors. Social skills, communication, and executive functioning challenges in high school continued into postsecondary education settings. Across cases, five reoccurring themes seemed to influence the transition from high school to postsecondary education: (a) motivation to attend college, (b) high levels of disability awareness, (c) intentional family supports, (d) coordinated transition planning, and (e) clear postschool goals.

VR Employment Outcomes of Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders: A Decade in the Making / Charlotte Y. ALVERSON in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 48-1 (January 2018)

YAMAMOTO, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.151-162 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  Employment  Hlm  Vocational rehabilitation Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study utilized hierarchical linear modeling analysis of a 10-year extant dataset from Rehabilitation Services Administration to investigate significant predictors of employment outcomes for vocational rehabilitation (VR) clients with autism. Predictor variables were gender, ethnicity, attained education level, IEP status in high school, secondary disability status, and total number of VR services. Competitive employment was the criterion variable. Only one predictor variable, Total Number of VR Services, was significant across all 10 years. IEP status in high school was not significant in any year. The remaining predictors were significant in one or more years. Further research and implications for researchers and practitioners are included.
