Despite federal education law mandating transition services as part of the Individualized Education Program (IEP) for ensuring good outcomes for students with disabilities, current educational practices have been unable to demonstrate that autistic students experience positive postsecondary outcomes. There are existing, evidence-based interventions aimed at supporting positive outcomes for these students. However, these interventions have not systematically provided coaching support to the caregivers, students, and employment specialists. To address these issues, CAST will integrate three evidence-based interventions for supporting student transitions while providing this critical coaching support. By doing so, CAST aims to align the priorities and goals of interventions across home, school, and community settings to better support positive postsecondary outcomes for autistic students., conditionsModule conditions: Autism, conditions: Autism Spectrum Disorder, conditions: Autistic Disorder, designModule studyType: INTERVENTIONAL, phases: NA, designInfo allocation: RANDOMIZED, interventionModel: PARALLEL, interventionModelDescription: Pre-post; randomized control, primaryPurpose: TREATMENT, maskingInfo masking: SINGLE, maskingDescription: Independent observer evaluating goal attainment outcomes, whoMasked: OUTCOMES_ASSESSOR, enrollmentInfo count: 297, type: ESTIMATED, armsInterventionsModule interventions name: COMPASS Across Settings (CAST), outcomesModule primaryOutcomes measure: Goal Attainment of IEP progress (Ruble et al., 2012; 2018)., primaryOutcomes measure: Attainment of Postsecondary Goals (Ruble et al., 2019), secondaryOutcomes measure: Fidelity Assessment of Initial CAST consultation (Ruble et al., 2018), secondaryOutcomes measure: Fidelity Assessment of CAST Coaching (Ruble et al., 2018), secondaryOutcomes measure: Organizational Connectedness, secondaryOutcomes measure: Transition Plan Quality (Ruble et al., 2019), eligibilityModule sex: ALL, minimumAge: 16 Years, maximumAge: 99 Years, stdAges: CHILD, stdAges: ADULT, stdAges: OLDER_ADULT, contactsLocationsModule locations facility: Ball State University, status: RECRUITING, city: Muncie, state: Indiana, zip: 47306, country: United States, contacts name: Lisa Ruble, PhD, role: CONTACT, phone: 765-285-5702, email: laruble@bsu.edu, geoPoint lat: 40.19338, lon: -85.38636, hasResults: False
