Daily Living Skills: A Key to Independence for People with Autism
November 6, 2024
SPARK just recently published a great article discussing the importance of building age-appropriate daily living skills in autistic teens so that they can make a successful transition to the adult world of employment, college, and independent living! The article also featured the STRW intervention and the research done by our team of researchers at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center.
The book Atomic Habits by James Clear is a particularly helpful resource for teens and their families as they work on building age appropriate life skills!
The results of a recently completed randomized clinical trial revealed that autistic teens who completed the STRW intervention gained 3-4 years of daily living skills!
