Campbell Systematic Reviews, v8 n1 2012
The objective of the proposed systematic review is to determine the effectiveness of pre-graduation interventions aimed at persons with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) to shape behaviors, social interactions, and/or skills that result in employment in mainstream competitive employment settings. Interventions included in this review produce an employment outcome. Intervention techniques would include those that (1) use social adjustment techniques to increase the social acceptability of an individual in a work place setting; (2) use behavioural adjustment techniques to decrease behaviors that are not acceptable in the workplace; (3) use a combination of social and behavioral adjustment interventions to increase workplace acceptance; (4) develop skills that may be needed in a specific work environment; (5) focus on developing skills to complete job applications, produce a vita/resume, or engage in person-to-person job interviews; and/or (6) focus on parental or third-party supports aimed at acquiring and maintaining a job. A systematic review on the effectiveness of behavioral and social interventions for transition-age individuals with ASD would not only provide resources for practitioners towards obtaining or maintaining employment, but also show evidence that can inform implementation of further research.
