Objective: To validate the 'Work Rehabilitation and Adaptation Profile' for adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder (WRAP-ASD) by assessing its psychometric properties and confirming its suitability across multiple Pre-ETS. Method: A scale development and validation method was applied across day activity center, workshops, work programs and internships (n = 41 trainees with autism, n = 19 vocational rehabilitation professionals). Work functioning was observed with WRAP-ASD for motivation, attendance, peer relationships, communication, cognitive skills, rules/safety, independence, physical demand, tool/machinery handling, productivity/quality. WRAP-ASD is an Excel-based observation grid (≈3-h-over-2-weeks) with 59 items using 4-point scales from 3-almost always to 0-never. Results: The WRAP-ASD demonstrated strong construct and convergent validities and high internal consistency. Predictive validity identified key items exclusive for each Pre-ETS. The WRAP-ASD was updated with 49 items, by removing 8 items, merging 4, and revising 4. Conclusion: WRAP-ASD is sensitive to the different vocational needs and support requirements for Autism Levels 1–3. This is an added value over the six existing measurement tools. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
