"Different but connected": Participatory action research using Photovoice to explore well-being in autistic young adults / Gary Yu Hin LAM in Autism, 24-5 (July 2020)
[article]
Titre : "Different but connected": Participatory action research using Photovoice to explore well-being in autistic young adults Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Gary Yu Hin LAM, Auteur ; Emily HOLDEN, Auteur ; Megan FITZPATRICK, Auteur ; Linda RAFFAELE MENDEZ, Auteur ; Karen BERKMAN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1246-1259 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : adults autism spectrum disorders participatory research qualitative research quality of life transition Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Past research has mainly focused on autistic people's deficits and poor outcomes compared to other groups of people. Little is known about their positive life experiences, and how to support them to achieve a higher quality of life. It is important to include autistic individuals in research so that they can influence how their voices are represented in a meaningful way and how the research results will be useful to them. In this study, a university researcher collaborated with 14 autistic young adults in a post-school transition program to design and run the research, collect and analyze the data, and use the results to create a presentation to the community. Specifically, the participants took photos in daily life and discussed their ideas about what a good life means to them. Results showed that these young adults described themselves as uniquely and different, but they were eager to learn and adapt. They also valued their relationships with their families, friends, and animals around them, as well as the community at large. This research shows that autistic individuals have important perspectives to share and knowledge to contribute when they are given the opportunities to participate in different aspects of research. The findings will be useful in developing services and influencing policies that promote well-being among autistic adults.

Titre : Program logic model and impacts perceived by stakeholders in a post-school transition program for autistic young adults Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Gary Yu Hin LAM, Auteur ; Jaimie TIMMONS, Auteur ; Agnieszka ZALEWSKA, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.102220 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Post-school transition Young adults Qualitative interview Logic model Career development Program evaluation Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Autistic young adults frequently experience challenges in their transition to adulthood. Despite the available research base describing isolated transition practices, efforts to document comprehensive programs combining multiple components in community settings are scant. This study aimed to explore stakeholders' experience of a post-school transition program, including their perceived program components, processes, and impacts that contributed to the program success. Method We conducted individual qualitative interviews with 17 program stakeholders, including autistic students, parents, mentors, community collaborators, and program staff. Findings were used to create a logic model that describes how various program components and processes effect changes in autistic youths and their parents. Results Results revealed that the program values are focused on student-led participation, a strength-based approach, individualization and customization, and professional development. Program activities holistically fostered development in the autistic youth through processes of imparting career-related knowledge, facilitating ecologically relevant practice, and providing supportive peers and environment. Stakeholders described heightened sense of self-awareness, self-esteem, independence, social competence, and preparedness for the future in autistic young adults, while parents also gained the trust and confidence in fostering autonomy in their adult children. Conclusions Transition program that integrates multiple components and processes informed by the evidence-based literature can facilitate career construction and development in autistic youth. Program model developed based on stakeholders' input can offer rich information about how a program works in a naturalistic context, which can support future program adaptaion and replication to meet the needs of diverse communities and settings.
