Summary
The purpose of this study is to examine the feasibility and efficacy of a systematic training approach targeting behaviors to increase safety and prevention of airborne diseases such as COVID-19 in the workplace for individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD). This project is designed to determine proof of concept and proof of product for a peer support intervention, the SAFE program, to increase knowledge and safe workplace practices. There is an identified immediate need for individuals with IDD to receive training in an accessible format. The SAFE program has been developed in an accessible format for those with IDD. It focuses on education regarding actionable behaviors that reduce the risk of acquiring and transmitting COVID-19 and other airborne diseases. The study will implement a peer-mediated and occupational therapy lead program, SAFE, to identify and address potential implementation issues and further refine the program curriculum. Additionally, the efficacy of the program on perceived safety and well-being, observable preventative behaviors and self-advocacy will be examined.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- The researchers anticipate recruiting young adults 18years old and over with ASD or IDD who are currently employed or actively looking for employment to participate in the study. Participants will have a diagnosis of ASD or IDD. Participants will self-report their ASD or IDD diagnosis. Additionally, the community agencies have access to documentation that identifies their consumer's diagnoses. Based on this, the researchers will ask them to only provide information to those individuals who have a diagnosis of IDD. Potentially eligible participants with documented intellectual and developmental disabilities will be recruited through large vocational rehabilitation organizations (Community Integrated Services CIS and Project Search) that together serve over 1200 adults with IDD. Participants must be working a minimum of 10 hours a week outside the home and/or receive vocational rehabilitation services.
Exclusion Criteria
- under 18 years, do not have a minimum of 10 hours/week of work experience, do not have Autism Spectrum Disorder and/or Intellectual Disability
