SDLMI Trial Summary

This trial will compare the effectiveness of each intervention with and without the addition of our implementation strategy, UNITED. UNITED is a remote delivery of professional development modules specific to the intervention and active coaching as dictated by the intervention procedures.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for school staff and adolescents aged 13-19 with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) or Neurodevelopmental Disorders (NDD), from under-resourced families. Eligible participants include those attending Title I schools, have a family income below 250% of the federal poverty guidelines, and have an official ASD/NDD diagnosis.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The AIRB-4 study tests the Self-Determined Learning Model of Instruction (SDLMI) for adolescents with ASD. It involves training school personnel to help students set and achieve their own goals over one school year, requiring about 47 hours from staff and around 25 hours from students.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this intervention is educational rather than medical, it does not involve typical drug side effects. However, there may be indirect effects related to changes in behavior or stress levels due to new learning strategies.

SDLMI Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: UNITEDExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
UNITED is premised on the idea that successful implementation in organizations like schools and early intervention systems requires a team-based approach, in which the team is thoughtfully assembled, develops a plan for implementation, assigns roles and responsibilities, and carefully tracks and supports implementation and sustainment in all its stages within a few meetings and ongoing coaching from the research staff.
Group II: Implementation as Usual (IAU)Active Control1 Intervention
The organizations will implement SDLMI as usual. The research team will be available to provide support on the SDLMI intervention as needed.
