Summary
The main objective of the current proposal is to conduct a pilot RCT (i.e., treatment group and social skills control group) to examine how participation in Surviving and Thriving in the Real World (STRW) Intervention affects proximal outcomes with a larger sample size (n = 72). As social skills, executive functioning, and parenting factors have been linked to the acquisition of Daily Living Skills (DLS), the current study will also explore how these are linked to participation in STRW. Lastly, goal attainment scaling (GAS) will be utilized, along with gold standard parent report and adolescent self-report measures, to assess DLS.
