Summary

The current study seeks to compare outcomes of a telehealth intervention targeting daily living skills (Surviving and Thriving in the Real World - Telehealth, or STRW-T) intervention to a control group telehealth intervention targeting social skills (Program for the Education and Enrichment of Relational Skills- Telehealth, or PEERS-T). The key endpoint will be change in daily living skills on primary and secondary outcome measures at the end of treatment.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

STRW-T

The STRW-T intervention consists of 15 weekly caregiver group sessions and caregiver-teen dyad sessions delivered via Zoom. The targeted daily living skills (DLS) have been identified and refined through our prior studies and include: Morning routine, laundry, kitchen/cooking, grocery shopping, and money management. Evidence-based strategies are utilized to facilitate acquisition, mastery, and generalization of specific DLS at home and in the community. During dyad sessions, teens will work on DLS in their home environment and will receive coaching and instruction from both their caregiver and the therapist. During caregiver group sessions, the therapist will discuss the content of dyad sessions and engage in problem solving with each caregiver (e.g., using and fading rewards, implementing strategies to increase success, teen motivation/buy-in).

BEHAVIORAL

PEERS-T

PEERS-T is a 15-week intervention with concurrent caregiver and teen group telehealth sessions that target social skills (e.g., building friendships, conversing, dealing with bullying). PEERS-T was chosen as the control because it is one of the few evidence-based interventions for autistic adolescents and does not address daily living skills. PEERS-T is also matched to STRW-T on duration and is clinically meaningful to families.
