Behaviours that Support Self-Understanding for People with Autism Spectrum Disorder in Vocational Rehabilitation
2021
This study identifies behaviours that support self-understanding for people
with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) participating in vocational rehabilitation.
The qualitative research (Study 1) used conceptual analysis to identify vocational
rehabilitation practitioners’ concept of support for self-understanding. The
quantitative research (Study 2) surveyed 155 Japanese vocational rehabilitation
practitioners using a questionnaire based on the results of Study 1.
Exploratory factor analysis of the survey data determined the structure of behaviours
that support self-understanding for people with ASD and found three behaviour
types: ‘Environmental setting of the current situation’, ‘Promoting awareness
of the current situation’, and ‘Reflection based on collected information’. A practitioner was deemed to promote self-understanding
support by using a combination of these three behaviours while heeding to the disabling
characteristics of people with ASD. Identified support behaviours could be used
as a fundamental perspective to develop a
support programme to promote self-understanding for people
with ASD.
