The development of DLS, and the relationship between DLS and other factors, has produced contradictory findings. The aim of this study was to examine the differences of DLS between typically developing (TD) and ASD teens, and the relationship between DLS and parent involvement and parent confidence. We also used qualitative interviews to explore parents’ descriptions of their attempts to help their teens develop DLS through qualitative interviews. A total of 54 parent-teen dyads (ASD N = 40; TD N =14) matched on age and IQ completed the VABS-3 and PRQ, which examined adaptive behavior skills and parent practices. The ASD group had significantly lower DLS scores than the TD group, as expected. There were no significant differences between parents’ scores on parenting involvement and confidence, and the standard scores of both groups were in the average range. There were few significant relationships between DLS scores and parent practices scores in either group, though the TD demonstrated a significant relationship between DLS and parent involvement, and this correlation was significantly higher than that found in the ASD group. Regression analyses found parent confidence and parent involvement scores to predict DLS in the ASD group, with confidence being the most significant factor. Based on qualitative interviews, parents primarily use verbal prompting to promote DLS in their teens. Future research should focus on replicating these findings with larger sample sizes, and examining the role of these factors in DLS intervention. 2019 English text Xavier University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=xavier1572430742786698 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=xavier1572430742786698 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
