Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 46-11 (November 2016) . - p.3583-3596 Titre : Promoting Social Interactions and Job Independence for College Students with Autism or Intellectual Disability: A Pilot Study Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Carly B. GILSON, Auteur ; Erik W. CARTER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.3583-3596 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Covert audio coaching  Job coach  Postsecondary education program  Autism  Intellectual and developmental disabilities  Supported employment Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The employment outcomes for young adults with autism or intellectual disability (ID) lag far behind those of their peers without disabilities. Most postsecondary education programs for students with disabilities incorporate internship experiences to foster employment skills. However, the proximity of job coaches may inadvertently hinder social opportunities and independence. We used a multiple-probe, single-case experimental design across three college students with autism or ID to examine the effects of a coaching package on task engagement and social interactions. For all participants, interactions increased and task engagement maintained when job coaches reduced proximity and delivered prompts discreetly through bug-in-ear devices. Participants considered the intervention beneficial and unobtrusive. We present implications for supporting employment preparation within postsecondary education programs.
