DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of this Phase I Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) proposal is to develop Supporting Transition In Vocation and Education (STRIVE) postsecondary transitional support training materials for use in special education or advocacy settings for individuals with Asperger Syndrome and/or High-Functioning Autism (AS/HFA). STRIVE will be an innovative, skill-building resource designed specifically for late adolescents and young adults, ages 16 to 21, with AS/HFA as they transition from high school to post-secondary education or work. Individuals with AS/HFA often have difficulty with social interactions, organization, and abstract thinking, which makes tasks like interviewing for a job, completing college applications, and searching for an apartment especially challenging. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) mandates transition planning during high school; however, staff often lack the resources, training, and tools needed to effectively teach students with AS/HFA to successfully complete these tasks. Using a modular design, STRIVE will be created for use by professionals or paraprofessionals in advocacy organizations or schools. An innovative STRIVE component will also include co-facilitation by a young adult with AS/HFA who has successfully transitioned into post-secondary life. The proposed product will include a facilitator's guide, student workbook, and video/DVD. The unique combination of peer mentors, workbook and facilitator activities, and video/DVD scenarios will make STRIVE a flexible and easy-to-implement resource in a variety of settings, including schools, support groups, and advocacy groups. In Phase I of the project period, we will conduct formative research with professionals, advocates, parents, and young adults with AS/HFA. We will also write the full content for the facilitator's guide and student workbook for one module of STRIVE and film the video/DVD clips component for that module. A feasibility study will be conducted to determine the acceptability and effectiveness of the module. STRIVE will be the only comprehensive training resource to assist adolescents and young adults with AS/HFA as they transition from high school to post-secondary settings. By providing teachers, advocates, or other professionals the materials needed to effectively support students' transition to post-secondary life, this tool ultimately will increase services and improve outcomes for young adults with autism spectrum disorders.

STRIVE will be an innovative, skill-building resource designed specifically for late adolescents and young adults, ages 16 to 21, with AS/HFA as they transition from high school to post- secondary education or work.

描述（由申请人提供）：第一阶段小企业创新研究 (SBIR) 提案的目的是开发支持职业和教育转型 (STRIVE) 的中学后过渡支持培训材料，用于阿斯伯格综合症和/或高功能自闭症 (AS/HFA) 患者的特殊教育或宣传环境。 STRIVE 将是一个创新的技能培养资源，专为 16 至 21 岁的青少年晚期和年轻人设计，他们在从高中过渡到高等教育或工作时具有 AS/HFA。患有 AS/HFA 的人通常在社交互动、组织和抽象思维方面存在困难，这使得面试工作、完成大学申请和寻找公寓等任务尤其具有挑战性。 《残疾人教育法》(IDEA) 规定高中期间必须制定过渡计划；然而，工作人员往往缺乏有效教导患有 AS/HFA 的学生成功完成这些任务所需的资源、培训和工具。 STRIVE 将采用模块化设计，供倡导组织或学校的专业人士或辅助专业人士使用。创新的 STRIVE 部分还将包括由一名患有 AS/HFA 并已成功过渡到高等教育生活的年轻人共同协助。拟议的产品将包括辅导员指南、学生作业簿和视频/DVD。同伴导师、工作簿和辅导员活动以及视频/DVD 场景的独特组合将使 STRIVE 成为各种环境（包括学校、支持团体和倡导团体）中灵活且易于实施的资源。在项目第一阶段，我们将与专业人士、倡导者、家长和患有 AS/HFA 的年轻人进行形成性研究。我们还将为 STRIVE 的一个模块编写辅导员指南和学生作业簿的完整内容，并拍摄该模块的视频/DVD 剪辑组件。将进行可行性研究以确定该模块的可接受性和有效性。 STRIVE 将成为帮助患有 AS/HFA 的青少年和年轻人从高中过渡到高等教育的唯一综合培训资源。通过向教师、倡导者或其他专业人员提供有效支持学生过渡到高等教育生活所需的材料，该工具最终将增加对患有自闭症谱系障碍的年轻人的服务并改善其结果。第一阶段小企业创新研究 (SBIR) 提案的目的是开发支持职业和教育转型 (STRIVE) 的中学后过渡支持培训材料，用于阿斯伯格综合症和/或高功能自闭症 (AS/HFA) 患者的特殊教育或宣传环境。 STRIVE 将是一种创新的技能培养资源，专为 16 至 21 岁的青少年晚期和年轻人设计，他们在从高中过渡到中学后教育或工作时具有 AS/HFA。
