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.

Maintenance of gains in autistic teens receiving a daily living skills intervention at a 6-month follow-up / Amie DUNCAN in Research in Autism, 131 (March 2026)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism > 131 (March 2026) . - 202790 Titre : Maintenance of gains in autistic teens receiving a daily living skills intervention at a 6-month follow-up Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Amie DUNCAN, Auteur ; Lori J. STARK, Auteur ; Lisa RUBLE, Auteur ; Carrie FASSLER, Auteur ; Jareen MEINZEN-DERR, Auteur Article en page(s) : 202790 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  Adaptive behavior  Intervention  Adolescence  Daily living skills  Autism  Maintenance Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Autistic adolescents without an intellectual disability have daily living skills (DLS) that are often 6–8 years behind same-aged peers. The Surviving and Thriving in the Real World (STRW) intervention has demonstrated gains in age-appropriate DLS from baseline to post-treatment compared to a comparison group. Aims Evaluate maintenance of DLS gains from post-treatment to 6-month follow-up from two randomized clinical trials of the STRW intervention. Methods and procedures 112 autistic teens were randomized to receive the STRW intervention (n = 60) or an active comparison group (n = 52). Adolescents were assessed at 6-month follow-up on the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, 3rd Edition (VABS-3) and the DLS goal attainment scale (DLS-GAS). Results revealed that the majority of teens in STRW maintained or improved their DLS on the VABS-3 and DLS-GAS. On the VABS-3, adolescents in STRW were not significantly different from the comparison group from post-treatment to 6-month follow-up. On the DLS-GAS, teens in both STRW and the comparison group maintained gains in cooking and self-care, but the comparison group made significant gains in laundry and money skills compared to STRW. Conclusions and implications The STRW intervention may lead to sustained and clinically meaningful gains, but autistic teens may benefit from continued support. Future studies should examine if these DLS gains are maintained into adulthood and whether they impact outcomes in employment and independent living.
