Autism and employment: What works / Susan M. HAYWARD in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 60 (April 2019)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 60 (April 2019) . - p.48-58 Titre : Autism and employment: What works Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Susan M. HAYWARD, Auteur ; Keith R. MCVILLY, Auteur ; Mark A. STOKES, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.48-58 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : ASD  Diversity  Human resources  Inclusion  Sustainability  Women Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Introduction People with autism have been identified as having a substantial contribution to make in the technology sector. Their intellectual abilities coupled with their focus and attention to detail have been recognized as desirable traits making them highly productive. However, these individuals report difficulties in employment, and there is a paucity of literature concerning the factors that attract and retain them; particularly from their viewpoint. Method Data was collected from 76 adults; 44 with autism and 32 neuro-typical (NT; i.e., adults without autism). Data were analysed using inductive thematic analysis in which the major themes of: work relationships, and environment; as well as person-organization fit, diversity climate, and bargaining emerged. Quantitative analysis then determined if these themes were more/less likely to be reported by individuals with autism. Results Those with autism (vs NT individuals) were more likely to indicate enablers, or reasons for occupational longevity consistent with collegial understanding, the physical occupational environment, and circumstances that limited contact with others. Conclusions The results reflect what is known clinically about Autism Spectrum Disorder, and are consistent with Conservation of Resources and Social Exchange theories. It was concluded that vocational assistance for individuals with autism requires intervention at both individual and organizational levels.

Examining the sustained use of a cognitive behavioral therapy program for youth with autism spectrum disorder and co-occurring anxiety / Katherine PICKARD in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 73 (May 2019)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 73 (May 2019) . - 101532 Titre : Examining the sustained use of a cognitive behavioral therapy program for youth with autism spectrum disorder and co-occurring anxiety Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Katherine PICKARD, Auteur ; Audrey BLAKELEY-SMITH, Auteur ; Richard BOLES, Auteur ; Amie DUNCAN, Auteur ; Amy KEEFER, Auteur ; Sarah O’KELLEY, Auteur ; Judy REAVEN, Auteur Article en page(s) : 101532 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder (ASD)  Anxiety  Cognitive behavioral therapy  Sustainability Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) for youth with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and anxiety has a strong evidence base. However, few studies have examined clinicians’ sustained use of CBT programs after training efforts have ended. The present study is a follow-up to a clinical trial that examined the implementation and treatment outcomes in response to a group CBT program for youth with ASD and co-occurring anxiety (i.e., Facing Your Fears; FYF). This study uses a mixed-methods approach to understand: 1) the percentage of clinicians who continue to use FYF at least four years after being trained in the program (i.e., sustainment); 2) adaptations that have been made to FYF in order to sustain its fit within clinical settings; and 3) factors that influence clinicians’ sustained use of FYF. Method Thirty of 34 clinicians who were initially trained to use FYF responded to a mixed-methods survey asking about their sustained use of the program, adaptations made to FYF, attitudes towards FYF, and perceived barriers to continued FYF use. Results Results demonstrated that a majority of clinicians reported that they continue to use the FYF program. Clinicians described that they continue to use FYF due to their perceptions of the program’s effectiveness, ease of use, and compatibility, but also made a variety of adaptations to FYF. Conclusion Results from the present study help to better understand factors impacting the sustained use of CBT for youth with ASD. They also highlight the importance of proactive efforts within clinical training to plan for intervention adaptation and to consider factors likely to impact program sustainment.

Sustained Community Implementation of JASPER Intervention with Toddlers with Autism / Stephanie Y. SHIRE in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 49-5 (May 2019)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 49-5 (May 2019) . - p.1863-1875 Titre : Sustained Community Implementation of JASPER Intervention with Toddlers with Autism Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Stephanie Y. SHIRE, Auteur ; W. SHIH, Auteur ; Y. C. CHANG, Auteur ; Suzanne BRACAGLIA, Auteur ; M. KODJOE, Auteur ; Connie KASARI, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1863-1875 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Community partnered  Implementation  Intervention  Paraprofessional  Sustainability Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Intervention research is increasingly conducted in community settings, however it is not clear how well practices are sustained locally or how children progress once external research support is removed. Two school-year cohorts of toddlers with autism (year 1: n = 55, year 2: n = 63) received Joint Attention, Symbolic Play, Engagement, and Regulation (JASPER) intervention from teaching assistants (TAs) with external support in year 1 and local, internal support in year 2. TAs sustained intervention strategies with more modest maintenance of high-level skills. Children in both years 1 and 2 made similar gains in initiations of joint attention during independent assessment. Year 1 children made significantly greater play gains. JASPER sustained into year 2, however advancing play may require additional supports.
