abstract="The purpose of this multi-site randomised controlled trial was to evaluate the effectiveness of a Driving Training Program, an intervention designed for student  drivers with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Participants were 72 student drivers  with ASD (ages 16-31) who were randomly assigned to an intervention or control  group. Student drivers received ten driving lessons with a professional driving  instructor via a standardised driving route. The Driving Performance Checklist was  used as the outcome measure to evaluate the driving performance of student drivers  during on-road pre- and post-observational drives. Both groups showed an improvement  in driving performance, however, the extent of improvement between groups was not  significant. <br><br>FINDINGS showed promising intervention efficacy for training student  drivers with ASD to drive.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
