Daily living skill deficits commonly co-occur in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). These deficits in adolescence are associated with poor outcomes, in both employment and independent living skills as adults. Currently, there are no interventions that directly target daily living skill acquisition in adolescents with ASD without an intellectual disability to facilitate a successful transition to adulthood. In this paper, we discuss the development, refinement, and initial efficacy studies of Surviving and Thriving in the Real World (STRW), a 14-session group treatment for both adolescents with ASD and their parent/caregiver that promotes attainment of critical daily living skills. We summarize initial feasibility studies that have been instrumental in the iterative development of STRW. The structure, core treatment elements, and content of STRW are described in detail. Lastly, we discuss the transition of the in-person STRW intervention to STRW-telehealth, which allows for adolescents with ASD to work on daily living skills in their own home with support from a therapist.
