STEPS Implementation Trial for Autism Spectrum Disorder
This study is looking at how well a program called STEPS helps young adults (ages 16-25) with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) prepare for adulthood. STEPS is a type of behavioral counseling designed to improve skills like self-knowledge and self-regulation. Researchers will compare STEPS to the usual behavioral counseling (Services as usual or SAU) provided in the community. To join, you need to be 16-25 years old, have an ASD diagnosis, want to participate in STEPS, and have a parent or caregiver who can complete assessments. The main goal is to see if STEPS improves your "Transition Readiness" (how prepared you feel for adulthood) after 30 days. The study aims to enroll 80 participants, but its current status is unclear.
