Abstract

More examples for clinicians are needed on the implementation of data-driven intervention approaches for autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). The purpose of this case study is to present a feasible data-driven approach using a pre- and postdesign of an outpatient social skills group for children with ASD who were clinically referred rather than research recruited for services. Measurement tools with ecological validity are described, as are the treatment outcomes. Challenges included the generation of meaningful and obtainable outcomes with social validity and the development of feasible methods to evaluate clinical outcomes. Practical issues related to implementation are described that can increase researchers' understanding of the practitioner environment, and suggestions are made for data-driven methods for service delivery monitoring, accountability, and scalability.
