Teaching Job Search Skills to College Students with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities through Screensharing and Remote Audio Coaching
Kearney, Kelly B.; Torres, Ayse
Education and Training in Autism and Developmental Disabilities, v57 n2 p167-176 Jun 2022
Adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) are more frequently unemployed or under-employed than individuals without disabilities. Job search skills are one of the most direct ways to counter unemployment. Remote audio coaching (RAC) has shown to be an effective, remote method for teaching skills to adults with IDD. Since the COVID-19 pandemic has increased the need for flexible intervention delivery options, we explored the effectiveness of using RAC to teach job search skills to college students with IDD. A multiple probe design across students was used to examine the impact of RAC on increasing job search skills. Results demonstrated that RAC was effective at increasing this skill. All students maintained the skill upon removal of the intervention. Implications and future research are discussed.
