A Multisite RCT of a Daily Living Skills Intervention for Autistic Adolescents Prior to the Transition to Adulthood
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.
