Generalization Task for Developing Social Problem-Solving Skills among Young People with Autism Spectrum Disorder Bonete-Román, Saray Molinero-Caparrós, Clara Garrido-Zurita, Adrián Autism spectrum disorder Adolescents Social problem-solving skills Interpersonal Skills Treatment Assessment Generalization Acknowledgments: We thank the adolescents and adults who participated in this study and the professionals from the following associations who cooperated in the study: Asociación Asperger Madrid, Asociación Asperger Granada, Centro Hans Asperger Sevilla, Asociación Aspeger ASPALI, and Asociación Asperger Valencia. We would like to thank Linda Adeyemo for her participation in the research project. This project was approved by the Ethics Committee of the University of Granada. This study aims to examine the usefulness of an ad hoc worksheet for an Interpersonal Problem-Solving Skills Program (SCI-Labour) the effectiveness of which was tested by Bonete, Calero, and Fernández-Parra (2015). Data were taken from 44 adolescents and young adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) (age M = 19.73; SD = 3.53; 39 men and 5 women; IQ M = 96.27, SD = 15.98), compared to a matched group (in age, sex, and nonverbal IQ) of 48 neurotypical participants. The task was conceived to promote the generalization of interpersonal problem-solving skills by thinking on different possible scenarios in the workplace after the training sessions. The results show lower scores in the worksheet delivered for homework (ESCI-Generalization Task) in the ASD Group compared to neurotypicals in total scores and all domains (Problem Definition, Quality of Causes, and Solution Suitability) prior to program participation. In addition, after treatment, improvement of the ASD Group was observed in the Total Score ESCI-Generalization Task and in the domains of Problem Definition, Quality of Causes, Number or Alternatives and Consequences, Time, and Solution Suitability. This is a valuable task in furthering learning within the SCI-Labour Program and may be a supplementary material in addressing the difficulties of interpersonal skills within this population, both in the workplace and in daily life. In conclusion, this task may provide useful information for identifying key difficulties among this population and could be implemented in a clinical setting as a complement to the SCI-Labour Program. 2022-03-04T09:17:20Z 2022-03-04T09:17:20Z 2022-01-28 journal article Bonete, S.; Molinero, C.; Garrido-Zurita, A.
