abstract: 'Introduction: People with intellectual and developmental disabilities
(IDD) including Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) often face serious
transportation challenges that impede healthcare access, community
participation, and employment opportunities. Travel training, which
makes use of one-on-one instruction, may help people with IDD overcome
transportation barriers. The purpose of this study was to examine the
impact of a comprehensive travel training program on the travel skills
of individuals with IDD.
Methods: Participants were a convenience sample of all individuals with
IDD (n = 87) who received travel training from the Kennedy Center in
2016 and 2017. Pre- and post-test scores on the Progressive Evaluation
of Travel Skills, as well as primary mode(s) of public transportation
used, purpose of use, and number of training sessions were recorded in a
secure database. Data was de-identified which involved a process of
removing any personally identifiable information. A secondary analysis
was completed to test the effect of travel training on transportation
skill acquisition by using multilevel analyses. Specifically, the
effects of condition (Intellectual Disability (ID) without ASD, ID and
ASD, ASD without ID), time (pre-training, post-training), and condition
x time interactions on transportation skill T-scores were analyzed.
Results: Participants were 69 men and 18 women with IDD and/or ASD (mean
age = 23.6). Trainees made statistically significant gains on the
competencies needed for independent travel. A significant condition x
time (training) interaction was observed. Prior to training, people with
ID (with and without ASD) had less developed travel skills than those
with ASD (and no ID). Upon completion of the training, those with ID
made larger gains in travel skills than those with ASD/no ID in which
both groups had comparable skill levels.
Conclusions: The results of this study provide preliminary support for
the use of a structured and comprehensive travel training program to
improve overall travel skills needed for public transportation.'
