Implementation of a multi-family autism transition program in the high school setting / Jocelyn KUHN in Autism, 26-3 (April 2022)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 26-3 (April 2022) . - p.615-627 Titre : Implementation of a multi-family autism transition program in the high school setting Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Jocelyn KUHN, Auteur ; Kate SZIDON, Auteur ; Bonnie KRAEMER, Auteur ; Jessica R.

While it has been delivered successfully and shown to result in positive outcomes for families in the university setting, questions remain about whether and how well it can be widely provided to families in real-world settings such as high schools. In this study, we analyzed predictors, facilitators, and barriers to providing Transitioning Together to families at 30 high schools across three US states, all of which received training from a team of researchers to deliver this intervention. Our findings highlight struggles and successes with real-world use of the intervention. Seventeen of the 30 schools were successful in providing Transitioning Together to families. Schools who had higher community socioeconomic status, higher quality family involvement, and higher quality transition planning programming before changing anything for this study were much more likely to provide this new intervention to families. Schools who used the intervention were mostly able to deliver it as designed and received positive feedback from families who participated. Common parts of the intervention that schools struggled with most included following the structure of the sessions, including group problem-solving and dialogue in the sessions, and collecting feedback from families. Future research is needed to learn how to make it even easier for public high schools and other service systems to provide this intervention to families, in a way that also maximizes its effectiveness and accessibility for historically underserved autism spectrum populations.

Quality of high school programs for students with autism spectrum disorder / Bonnie KRAEMER in Autism, 24-3 (April 2020)

STEINBRENNER, Auteur ; Katherine SZIDON, Auteur ; Christopher BRUM, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.707-717 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism spectrum disorders  high school  interventions-psychosocial/behavioral Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The purpose of the study was to examine the quality of high school programs for students with autism spectrum disorder in the United States. The Autism Program Environment Rating Scale-Middle/High School was used to rate the quality of programs for students with autism spectrum disorder in 60 high schools located in three geographic locations in the United States (CA, NC, and WI). Findings indicated that the total quality rating across schools was slightly above the adequate criterion. Higher quality ratings occurred for program environment, learning climate, family participation, and teaming domains. However, quality ratings for intervention domains related to the characteristics of autism spectrum disorder (e.g. communication, social, independence, functional behavior, and transition) were below the adequate quality rating level. Also, quality ratings for transition were significantly higher for modified (primarily self-contained) programs than standard diploma (primarily served in general education) programs. School urbanicity was a significant predictor of program quality, with suburban schools having higher quality ratings than urban or rural schools, controlling for race, school enrollment size, and Title 1 eligibility status. Implications for working with teachers and school teams that support high school students with autism spectrum disorder should include a targeted focus on transition programming that includes a breadth of work-based learning experiences and activities that support social-communication domains.

Sex Differences in Social Participation of High School Students with Autism Spectrum Disorder / Leann S. DAWALT in Autism Research, 13-12 (December 2020)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 13-12 (December 2020) . - p.2155-2163 Titre : Sex Differences in Social Participation of High School Students with Autism Spectrum Disorder Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Leann S. DAWALT, Auteur ; Julie LOUNDS TAYLOR, Auteur ; Somer L. BISHOP, Auteur ; Laura J. HALL, Auteur ; Jessica R. DYKSTRA STEINBRENNER, Auteur ; Bonnie KRAEMER, Auteur ; Kara HUME, Auteur ; Samuel L. ODOM, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2155-2163 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : adolescence  autism spectrum disorder  sex differences  social interactions Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : There is lack of consensus in the literature regarding sex differences in social outcomes for individuals on the autism spectrum. Furthermore, little research has focused on the social experiences of high school students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) during the school day. Using a large racially/ethnically diverse sample of high school students with ASD receiving special education services (n = 547; 76 females, 471 males), we examined sex differences in social interactions of youth both during and after school. We also tested for sex differences in background and phenotypic characteristics including autism severity, IQ, adaptive behavior, and mental health. Results indicated few statistically significant differences between males and females in social interactions and phenotypic characteristics (including raw scores of autism symptom severity). However, analysis of standardized scores of autism symptoms suggested that symptom scores for females with ASD diverged more from same-sex peers in the normed sample than scores of males with ASD. Lack of sex difference in social participation for youth with ASD in this study stands in contrast to patterns of sex differences in the general population. Findings suggest that few differences between males and females with ASD, both in social participation and autism symptom severity, might result in females with ASD being more dissimilar to their same-sex peers than males with ASD. Implications of findings for understanding sex differences in ASD across the life course are discussed. LAY SUMMARY: The present study examined sex differences in social participation in a large, diverse sample of high school students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Males and females were very similar in their social interactions both at school and outside of school, based on reports by teachers and parents. Level of autism symptoms was also similar for males and females. However, standardized scores of autism symptoms, which take into account age and sex specific norms, suggested that females with ASD may have behaviors that are more divergent from their same-sex peers than males with ASD.

Student, Educator, and Parent Perspectives of Self-Determination in High School Students with Autism Spectrum Disorder / Brianne TOMASZEWSKI in Autism Research, 13-12 (December 2020)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 13-12 (December 2020) . - p.2164-2176 Titre : Student, Educator, and Parent Perspectives of Self-Determination in High School Students with Autism Spectrum Disorder Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Brianne TOMASZEWSKI, Auteur ; Bonnie KRAEMER, Auteur ; Jessica R. STEINBRENNER, Auteur ; Leann S. DAWALT, Auteur ; Laura J. HALL, Auteur ; Kara HUME, Auteur ; Samuel L. ODOM, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2164-2176 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : adolescents  autism spectrum disorder  choice behavior  personal autonomy  self-report  surveys and questionnaires Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Self-determination refers to an individual being a causal agent in their daily activities, including the ability to express their own needs, interests, and wants, make choices, and set goals. Self-determination is critical during adolescence and has been linked to positive educational outcomes in individuals with disabilities. Few studies have characterized the measurement of self-determination in adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The purpose of the current study was to (a) examine the agreement across the American Institutes for Research Self-Determination Scale (Wolman et al., AIR Self-determination scale and user guide. Palo Alto, CA: American Institute for Research, 1994) student, educator, and parent forms for high school students with ASD, and (b) examine student and family predictors of self-determination. Participants included adolescents with ASD (N = 547, mean chronological age = 16.1 years, SD = 1.4 years), their parents, and educators. Student reports did not correspond to parent or educator reports, and parent and educator reports were in moderate agreement. Adaptive behavior was a significant predictor of self-determination across reporters, highlighting the significance of adaptive behavior skills during high school. In addition to promoting adaptive behavior, supporting family empowerment, and reducing family burden may help to increase self-determination in high school students with ASD. LAY SUMMARY: Self-determination refers to the abilities and opportunities for students to make choices, plans, and set goals. The current study examined self-determination from multiple perspectives in a large, diverse sample of high school students with ASD. Students, parents, and their teachers each completed a questionnaire on self-determination and had little to some agreement across reporters. Providing support to families and help for students to increase independent skills may promote self-determination.
