Detaljeret beskrivelse
This study aims to evaluate whether the MAPHabit System can improve functional ability and quality of life in autistic transition-age young adults (ages 18-30) during key life transitions by teaching skills and providing cognitive support. MAPHabit is a daily living support app to help individuals, caregivers, and families build routines and increase independence.
The study will recruit at Emory Autism Center (Georgia) 140 autistic young adults ages 18-30 who are navigating transitions such as graduating high school, entering adult services, pursuing employment or education, and community-based living. Each participant will be in the study for 6 months.
The study uses a single-arm, pre-post design where participants complete some outcome assessments at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months while using the MapHabit visual mapping intervention.

Eksperimentel: MapHabit System Arm
Participants will use the MapHabit System for 6 months to help them accomplish activities of daily living and build independent habits. |
The MapHabit System (MHS) is a commercially available visual mapping software application that utilizes visual, audio, and text media to create step-by-step visual guides to help participants accomplish activities of daily living (ADL) and build independent habits. The goal of the application is to develop and facilitate habits and routines using structured visual and auditory stimuli that can be customized by the user and can include educational and lesson-based material in addition to ADLs. It will be delivered using mobile application (iOS/Android tablets provided to participants) and/or printed materials.
