Feasibility of the Autism Navigator^® JumpStart to Coaching in Everyday Activities course in South Africa.

ABSTRACT:

Lay abstract

In low-resource settings, non-profit organisations play an essential role in providing services and support for families with young children with autism, including in Africa. However, non-profit organisation service providers may not have access to quality training in proven intervention methods. Web-based or online courses may help to meet this need. In this study, we invited a group of specialist (10) and non-specialist (16) non-profit organisation providers in South Africa to complete a web-based course, Autism Navigator^® JumpStart to Coaching in Everyday Activities, a 20-h self-paced course that provides training in an evidence-based parent coaching intervention called Early Social Interaction. We evaluated acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility
