Summary

The aims of the project are: 1. VCU will modify the Project SEARCH Plus ASD Model to meet the needs of military dependents with ASD. 2. VCU will implement the intervention based upon the Project SEARCH plus ASD Supports manual and will measure fidelity of implementation. 3. VCU will measure the impact of the intervention on the social communication, behavioral adjustment and employment outcomes of the military dependents who participate compared to an equal control group who do not receive the intervention. Aim 1 is accomplished, and Aims 2 and 3 have been implemented. The Project SEARCH program is currently in its second year at the 773rd Mission Support Group, Joint Base Langley Eustis, Fort Eustis site.
