This interactive manual provides clinicians (e.g., psychologists,
occupational therapists, social workers, educators) with a structured
curriculum to target the acquisition and mastery of age-appropriate
daily living skills using evidence-based strategies for neurodivergent
adolescents (e.g., autism, ADHD). The Surviving and Thriving in the
Real World (STRW) curriculum has been iteratively developed over the
last 12 years and is the first evidence-based daily living skills
intervention for autistic adolescents with average or above cognitive
abilities. The 15-week STRW intervention builds essential daily living
skills including personal hygiene, cleaning, laundry, cooking, grocery
shopping, and spending, saving, and budgeting money using strategies
such as a direct instruction and feedback, naturalistic teaching, a
specific contract with goals and rewards, task analysis, visual
supports, video modelling, and technology. The manual consists of a
general overview and specific chapters on each of the 15 intervention
sessions that target specific daily living skills during separate
caregiver group sessions and individual caregiver/teen dyad sessions.
The manual also includes the handouts for each session and provides
clinicians with access to the PowerPoint slides that are utilized in
all of the telehealth sessions. This manual will equip practitioners
with the skills to help their neurodivergent adolescent clients learn
and practice daily living skills to prepare them for successful adult
outcomes in work, college, independent living, and social
connectedness.
