Exploring Team Implementation Factors of Vocational Training for Autistic Transition-Age Youth 

Awardee: Rachel Schuck, PhD. - SDSU 

Co-Investigator(s): Mary Baker-Ericzen, PhD. 

Specific Aims

  1. Elucidate team mechanisms (such as communication, leadership, shared mental models, etc.) that are functioning well in vocational transition programs and identify which may need additional support.  
  2. Ascertain team members’ perspectives on implementation outcomes (e.g acceptability) and identify variations in such outcomes based on team inputs (e.g., team member characteristics) and school site. 
  3. Understand strategies that transition team members feel would be helpful in enhancing team effectiveness within the context of implementing a program such as TAY SUCCESS.
