Abstract

We reviewed the newest empirical contributions available along the last decade on the implementation of cognitive-behavioral programs and assistive technology-based interventions focused on promoting life skills of children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorders and developmental or intellectual disabilities. A selective overview was conducted accordingly. Eighteen studies were retained and one-hundred and fifty-five participants were included. Five main categories of studies were identified, namely (a) emotional regulation, (b) communication skills, (c) academic performance, (d) social inclusion, and (e) challenging behavior. Results were fairly satisfactory, although occasional failures were observed. Clinical, educational, psychological, and rehabilitative outcomes of the findings were critically argued. Some helpful guidelines for future research and practice were emphasized.
