The Effects of UPGRADE Your Performance on Employment Soft Skills of Students with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities: A Pilot Study of Generalization
Kelly A. Clark; Moira Konrad; David W. Test
Journal of Intellectual Disabilities, v28 n2 p478-498 2024
Previous research has identified "UPGRADE Your Performance" as a method for teaching employment soft skills to students with disabilities. "UPGRADE Your Performance" instruction is a multicomponent intervention including self-evaluation, self-graphing, goal setting, and technology-aided instruction. This pilot study investigated the generalized effects of "UPGRADE Your Performance" on soft skills of secondary students with intellectual and other developmental disabilities participating in an 18-21 transition program located on a university campus. Results indicated that when students improved in two targeted soft skill areas, generalization occurred to three non-targeted soft skill areas. Implications for practice and suggestions for future research are included.
