Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of the study is to see if an internet job interview training program can help people that have autism improve interview skills and access to jobs.

Participants will be randomized to use Virtual Interview Training (VIT) or continue services as usual (active control group).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Participants will have assessments that will be done over the computer or in-person at school or program site. Assessments will be about participants background, employment history, mood and feelings, autistic traits, memory, mental health issues, such as depression and anxiety, and other things. Some assessments will be audio and/or video recorded.

Please note that there will be teachers and staff consented (approximately n=32) to deliver the intervention, however, will not count for the clinical trial. Therefore, the information will not be added to the anticipated enrollment numbers in study design.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Virtual Interview Training

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Virtual Interview Training (VIT)

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Teachers will administer the intervention (Virtual Interview Training) with the student participants. University of Michigan research staff will train all teachers (including sites in California) and will provide support as necessary throughout the intervention delivery process. Surveys will be captures several times throughout delivery as delivery is expected to be anywhere between 4 to 6 weeks long.

Services-as-usual

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Services-as-usual

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Participants will receive services-as-usual at participants school or program for approximately 6 weeks.
