With unemployment rates for adults with autism as high as 85%, it is important for young adults to learn necessary prevocational skills (e.g., interviewing) to help them succeed in their search for employment. There is little research showing that individuals with autism can be taught to respond appropriately during an interview to secure future employment opportunities. We replicated the results of Stocco et al. (J Appl Behav Anal 50:495–510, 2017. https://doi.org/10.1002/jaba.385) who evaluated the effects of behavioral skills training on the interview skills of college students. We used a multiple baseline design across three responses (i.e., asking questions, answering questions and appropriate body language) to extend these results to three young adults with autism. During baseline, responding was low across all three responses for all three participants. Behavioral skills training consisted of role-playing simulated interviews, providing feedback and performance rehearsals. For two of the participants, behavioral skills training alone was effective at increasing all three responses. For the third participant, we added textual cues and reinforcement during behavioral skills training to reach criterion performance. Results demonstrated that adults with autism can benefit from modified behavioral skills training to improve interview skills and employment opportunities. Social validity of responses was assessed by asking community members to rate video-taped segments of the interviews.

由于自闭症成年人的失业率高达 85%，因此年轻人学习必要的职业前技能（例如面试）以帮助他们成功找到工作非常重要。几乎没有研究表明可以教会自闭症患者在面试中做出适当的反应，以确保未来的就业机会。我们复制了 Stocco 等人的结果。（J Appl Behav Anal 50:495–510, 2017. https://doi.org/10.1002/jaba.385）谁评估了行为技能培训对大学生面试技巧的影响。我们在三个响应（即提问、回答问题和适当的肢体语言）中使用了多基线设计，将这些结果扩展到三个患有自闭症的年轻人。在基线期间，所有三个参与者的所有三个响应中的响应都很低。行为技能培训包括角色扮演模拟面试、提供反馈和表演排练。对于其中两名参与者，仅行为技能培训就可以有效提高所有三种反应。对于第三个参与者，我们在行为技能训练期间添加了文本提示和强化，以达到标准表现。结果表明，患有自闭症的成年人可以从改进的行为技能培训中受益，以提高面试技巧和就业机会。通过要求社区成员对访谈的录像片段进行评分来评估响应的社会效度。对于其中两名参与者，仅行为技能培训就可以有效提高所有三种反应。对于第三个参与者，我们在行为技能训练期间添加了文本提示和强化，以达到标准表现。结果表明，患有自闭症的成年人可以从改进的行为技能培训中受益，以提高面试技巧和就业机会。通过要求社区成员对访谈的录像片段进行评分来评估响应的社会效度。对于其中两名参与者，仅行为技能培训就可以有效提高所有三种反应。对于第三个参与者，我们在行为技能训练期间添加了文本提示和强化，以达到标准表现。结果表明，患有自闭症的成年人可以从改进的行为技能培训中受益，以提高面试技巧和就业机会。通过要求社区成员对访谈的录像片段进行评分来评估响应的社会效度。结果表明，患有自闭症的成年人可以从改进的行为技能培训中受益，以提高面试技巧和就业机会。通过要求社区成员对访谈的录像片段进行评分来评估响应的社会效度。结果表明，患有自闭症的成年人可以从改进的行为技能培训中受益，以提高面试技巧和就业机会。通过要求社区成员对访谈的录像片段进行评分来评估响应的社会效度。
