Intervention-Induced Plasticity of Flexibility and Learning Mechanisms in ASD

This executive function group therapy curriculum for adolescents uses cognitive behavioral therapy techniques, and focuses on key functions needed for adult success, such as: self-advocacy, flexibility, time management, motivation, goal setting, developing plans, monitoring progress. Guided practice begins with concrete interventionist support and moves to interventionist cueing, self-cueing, and finally automatic use of the skills without support.
