Abstract	An estimated 50,000 autistic young adults in the United States transition out of high school each year, and more than a third of them do not engage in any form of employment or formal education in their twenties. Daily living skills (DLS)?are one key?predictor of?autistic adults attending post-secondary education, obtaining employment, and living independently. Adolescents with autism have indicated a desire for more DLS supports, and explicit instruction on DLS is most effective for this population prior to adulthood. Despite this evidence, autistic adolescents without intellectual disability (ID) are unlikely to receive DLS instruction in their general education coursework. Caregivers of autistic adolescents have indicated a desire to support DLS at home, but they are unsure of how to motivate and collaborate with their teen to work on these skills. To address these concerns, we developed an eLearning instructional tool to support caregivers of autistic adolescents without ID in teaching DLS at home. The online module series presents caregivers with strategies for working with their teen, setting goals, and using evidence-based practices to teach DLS. The current single case design study measured the impact of the modules on caregiver-adolescent collaboration, caregiver fidelity to the evidence-based practices, and adolescent independence with DLS. The study also assessed the social validity of the modules. The results of this study reveal functional relationships between the module series and caregiver fidelity to the evidence-based practices and to adolescent independence with targeted DLS. Collaboration between the caregivers and their autistic adolescents was high across all phases resulting in no evidence of a functional relationship between the intervention and dyadic collaboration. The caregivers and the adolescents both rated the acceptability, feasibility, and significance of the intervention favorably.
