Adaptation and Implementation of an ASD Executive Functioning Intervention in Children's Mental Health Services

Unstuck and on Target is a cognitive-behavioral treatment that directly addresses executive functioning and self-regulation deficits in ASD and ADHD. Unstuck and on Target is the first contextually-based executive functioning treatment that targets flexibility, goal-setting and planning through a cognitive behavioral program centered on self-regulatory scripts that are consistently modeled and reinforced. Unstuck and on Target will be adapted for use in mental health service settings. Mental health therapists will be trained in Unstuck and on Target and deliver to youth and caregivers.
