This project is designed to develop a comprehensive intervention to improve social and academic outcomes and access to inclusive settings for students with co-occurring ASD and intellectual disability (ID) in elementary school. Project activities include focus groups with stakeholders to obtain feedback to refine modules and develop the complete and comprehensive Students with Autism Accessing General Education (SAAGE) intervention, feasibility testing and assessment of parent and teacher satisfaction with the intervention, and a pilot study to assess the promise of the intervention using a randomized controlled trial. In addition to a fully developed intervention, the project will provide companion training materials, modules, and manuals.
