Study Summary
Nearly 50,000 youth with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) transition from high school to adult life each year with only 25% of these transition-age youth with ASD (TAY-ASD) getting jobs within 2 years of graduation. TAY-ASD's ability to sustain employment is even more challenging due in part to their social cognitive deficits (e.g., poorly reading social cues) that disrupt communicating with customers, coworkers, and supervisors. Research shows nearly 90% of job dismissals among TAY-ASD are attributed to poor work-based social functioning (e.g., poorly communicating with upset customers). The subsequent unemployment has damaging effects on their mental, physical, and economic health. A critical gap in federally-mandated services to support youth with ASD as they transition from school-to-adult life is the lack of evidence-based practice to enhance work-based social functioning. Given that TAY-ASD report computerized training tools (developed by the investigators and others) are highly acceptable and improve their real-world outcomes, the investigators propose to address this critical barrier to sustained employment by developing and evaluating a novel and scalable computerized training tool to enhance participant conversations with customers, coworkers and supervisors at work. The investigators propose to develop and test the effectiveness of Social Cognitive and Affective Learning for Work (Work Chat: An Interactive Virtual Workday), a computerized training tool. Work Chat will have three tiers of instruction designed to help TAY-ASD prepare for effective workplace communication. Tier 1 will adapt existing evidence-based practices to design an e-learning curriculum that trains social cognitive strategies to help guide work-related conversations (e.g., reading social cues or regulating emotions during supervisor feedback). In Tier 2, SIMmersion's PeopleSim® technology will enable TAY-ASD to apply social cognitive strategies learned in Tier 1 to repetitively practice
