Teaching Young Adults Job Skills Using a Constant Time Delay and e Coaching Intervention Package

Abstract

Young adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and comorbid intellectual disability (ID) are vastly underrepresented in the area of postsecondary employment. This study evaluated the effectiveness and perceptions of an intervention package incorporating constant time delay (CTD) and eCoaching to promote employment skill acquisition. CTD was used by a teacher interventionist to instruct four student participants with ASD and ID in a community setting, while concurrently receiving real-time performance feedback through eCoaching. A multiple probe across participants design was used to evaluate the impact of the intervention on skill acquisition while simultaneously measuring CTD implementation fidelity. Results showed rapid skill acquisition and generalization and follow-up data were positive. CTD was implemented with fidelity and rated favorably among participants.
