Location: Congressional B
Session Description
All posters for the AUCD Conference will be presented throughout Monday and Tuesday (this is new in 2018) in a series of Poster Symposia that run at the same time as concurrent sessions. During these 75 minute poster symposia, 12-15 posters on a similar theme will be grouped together in a room. Posters will be displayed on large boards and have a table underneath for accompanying materials. The session will be introduced by a moderator, poster authors will be asked to provide a very brief introduction of their poster, and then attendees will be free to move about the room to speak with poster presenters directly for the remainder of the session. Attendees are also welcome to move between symposia rooms and view posters on other topics. Conference posters submitted ahead of time are also avilable electronically in the conference app and linked below.

Community Engagement Studio for Adults with Autism Spectrum DIsorder
Presenter(s)
Beth Malow, M.D., M.S., Professor of Neurology and Pediatrics; Burry Chair, Dr.This proposal describes our experience holding a community engagement studio (consultative session) to gain input from stakeholders about Spectrum Pathways, a self-determination program for adults on the autism spectrum, including future directions to increase access.

Autism Spectrum Identity and the "Lost Generation": Comparison between Diagnosed and Self-Diagnosed Adults on Identity and Other Characteristics
Presenter(s)
T A McDonald, PhD, , Vanderbilt University, UCEDD/LENDThe change in autism spectrum condition (ASC) definitions imply a "lost generation" of undiagnosed adults with an ASC. Research on adults who self-diagnose may provide insight on this "lost generation". This research program previously validated the Autism Spectrum Identity Scale (ASIS). This study compares the demographic characteristics of diagnosed and self-diagnosed participants and reports the initial validation of the ASIS with this self-diagnosed population.

The authors conducted a meta-analysis of the literature on interventions to promote self-determination and associated skills with students with disabilities in the school context. Results demonstrated that interventions to promote self-determination can be effective for students across grade levels, disability labels, and settings. Implications for research and practice, including a need for increased focus on promoting self-determination within inclusive, general education settings, will be discussed.

Beyond Inclusion: Facilitating Generalization of Social Skills with a Person-Centered Conceptual Framework and Self-Management Intervention
Presenter(s)
Tiffany Otero, Ph.D., Postdoctoral Psychology Fellow, Center for Development & Disability, UCEDD/LENDIndividuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) display deficits in social skills, resulting in fewer social supports, lower quality friendships, and increased social rejection. While interventions exist, skills learned do not readily generalize across settings. This poster introduces a conceptual framework based on participant values that combines multiple theories of intervention to facilitate application of social skills to natural settings. A research project based on the model is also described.
