Surviving and Thriving in the Real World: Targeting Daily Living Skills in Autistic Adolescents - Webinar - April 24, 10:00-11:30 a.m. (MT)

During this webinar, we will discuss how daily living skills - which are the tasks that individuals do every day to take care of themselves at home, school, and the community - have an impact on one's ability to achieve goals in adulthood. We will review the development, evaluation, and refinement of the Surviving and Thriving in the Real World (STRW) intervention that targets age-appropriate daily living skills in autistic adolescents. Finally, we will discuss how to assess and then develop a treatment plan for building daily living skills in autistic children, adolescents, and young adults.
