Project Independence
14. maj 2026 opdateret af: Jill May Ehrenreich, University of Miami
The Development and Evaluation of an Online, Caregiver-Directed Single Session Intervention for Building Independence in Daily Living Skills in Autistic Youth
This project aims to develop and test the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary impact of a brief, online single-session intervention (SSI) for caregivers of autistic youth ages 10 to 14.
The SSI, called Project Independence, is designed to give caregivers practical tools to support greater independence in daily living routines.
To test the SSI, participants will be randomly assigned to either complete Project Independence or watch a time-matched, series of educational video with unrelated content.

Eksperimentel: Project Independence Immediately (Single-Session Intervention group)
Participants assigned to this arm will complete an online single-session intervention (SSI), with an estimated completion time of 30-minutes.
|
Participants will complete a self-guided, online, single-session digital intervention delivered through interactive audiovisual content.
The intervention includes guided readings related to caregiving and independence, brief demonstration stories or videos, and structured reflection or brainstorming activities, lasting approximately 30 minutes.

Tidsramme |
|---|---|---|

Perceived Change in Caregiver Confidence
Tidsramme: Baseline (pre-intervention), immediately post-intervention (same session)
|
Caregivers will rate their perceived confidence in their ability to support their child in building independence in daily living skills using an 11-point rating scale (developed for the purpose of this study), from 0 ("Not at All Confident") to 10 ("Extremely Confident").
Higher ratings on this item indicate greater perceived confidence to support youth independence in daily living skills.

Tidsramme |

Perceived Change in Caregiver Accommodation
Tidsramme: Immediately post-intervention, 2-week follow-up
|
Caregivers will rate the extent to which they provided accommodation in the past week when the identified daily living skills was being completed using an 11-point rating scale (developed for the purpose of this study), from 0 ("Not at all") to 10 ("Completely").
Higher ratings on this item indicate greater perceived accommodation use in the identified daily routine.

|
Perceived Change in Opportunities for Youth Practice in Independence
Tidsramme: Immediately post-intervention, 2-week follow-up
|
Caregivers will rate how often they provided opportunities for their child to practice the identified daily living skill independently using an 11-point rating scale (developed for the purpose of this study), from 0 ("Never") to 10 ("Almost Always").
Higher ratings on this item indicate greater perceived opportunities provided to youth to practice independence the identified daily routine.

Immediately post-intervention, 2-week follow-up

Program Feedback Scale (PFS)
Tidsramme: Immediately post-intervention
|
Participants will complete the Program Feedback Scale (PFS), an 8 item validated self report measure assessing perceived acceptability and feasibility of the intervention.
Items are rated on a 5 point Likert scale ranging from 1 ("Really disagree") to 5 ("Really agree"), with higher scores indicating greater perceived acceptability and feasibility.
