While adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) experience several social, communicative, or behavioral impairments that hinder their ability to obtain or maintain jobs, several interventions have been helpful in work-related skill acquisition. Objective: This systematic literature review focuses on strategies that improve numerous employment skills for adults diagnosed with ASD. Methods: A systematic literature review using the PRISMA guidelines identified a total of 44 articles that met inclusion criteria to analyze across several dimensions (participant characteristics, skills targeted, measurement systems, settings, interventions, experimental designs, and outcome/maintenance). Results: Many empirical practices were implemented and demonstrated an impact on the development of work-related skills in adults with ASD. Each study demonstrated an increase in work-related skills, with 63.6% of studies reporting changes in performance that were maintained after completion of the intervention, and/or led to paid employment positions at the end of the study. Conclusion: The review clearly indicates that behavior analytic supports in the workplace hold promise to further improve employment and quality of life outcomes for adults with ASD. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research systematic review tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
