Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of vocational intervention's program for person with high-functioning autistic spectrum disability(HF-ASD).
As a result, the effectiveness of this program was confirmed by the consultation support at the employment support organization. In addition, the contents of the program were newly developed, and flexible program adaptation to person with HF-ASD became possible.　A visit to the National Autistic Society(NAS) gave us suggestions for enhancing the long-term effects.
Based on the results of this research, we plan to develop programs content, interventions using tools to enhance long-term effects, research on corporate environment, and programs that are conscious of "mezzo" networks.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究における学術的意義は、就労支援に対して認知行動療法を用いて、支援の長期的な効果の促進を図っていること、プログラム内容を普及するためのコンサルテーションを並行しながら検討していたことにあると考えている。
その結果、ひとつの機関への介入だけではなく、メゾネットワークという支援機関同士の中規模ネットワークを考慮したコンサルテーションを検討することになり、地域に内容の還元を図る機会が多くなったことに社会的意義があると考えている。
