Actual (reported)The aims of the project are: 1. VCU will modify the Project SEARCH Plus ASD Model to meet the needs of military dependents with ASD. 2. VCU will implement the intervention based upon the Project SEARCH plus ASD Supports manual and will measure fidelity of implementation. 3. VCU will measure the impact of the intervention on the social communication, behavioral adjustment and employment outcomes of the military dependents who participate compared to an equal control group who do not receive the intervention. Aim 1 is accomplished, and Aims 2 and 3 have been implemented. The Project SEARCH program is currently in its second year at the 773rd Mission Support Group, Joint Base Langley Eustis, Fort Eustis site. Additionally, all recruitment activities were completed for the second cohort of the project, with a total of 14 treatment group participants and 21 control group participants across the two cohorts thus far. In addition, all collaborating agencies have signed the memorandum of understanding. The relocation and deployment plan is currently is being piloted.

Project SEARCH is an intensive 9-month job training program where youth with developmental disabilities in their last year of high school are embedded in a large community business such as a hospital, government complex, or banking center where they rotate through three 10-12 week internships within the business learning marketable skills, social communication, and adaptive behavior in the business setting. In order to meet the unique needs of youth with ASD, Wehman, et al. (2014) enhanced the Project SEARCH model by adding autism supports to the original model. Those added supports were: 1) on-site, intensive, systematic instruction using the principles of applied behavior analysis, 2) on-site support and consultation from a behavior/autism specialist, and 3) intensive staff training in ASD and the Project SEARCH Model.
Business as Usual means these youth remain in their high school programs as determined on their individualized education plans
Nine month job training program embedded on Fort Eustis military base.

VCU will share de-identified data with the National Database for Autism Research (NDAR) after reviewing and receiving informed consent with participants. VCU will only share data if participants consent. VCU will not share any data that will reveal participant identity. VCU will assign a random number to all data that is different than any other number or code associated with data shared. Participants can refuse permission to share their data and continue to be in the study. Participants can also change their mind about sharing data at any point until the investigators close the study with our VCU Institutional Review Board.
