“…The RCT examined the impact of BBB on school transition-related outcomes for students on the autism spectrum, their caregivers, and teachers. As described elsewhere (Wells et al, 2018), our use of CPPR helps to address key implementation factors described in each of the five key areas of the RE-AIM framework (Reach, Efficacy, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance;Glasgow et al, 1999). In this study, Reach of minoritized families of students on the autism spectrum and in under-resourced school districts was facilitated by our community partnered approach.…”

New school transitions can be challenging for students on the autism spectrum. No published, evidence-based interventions exist to support families and teachers of students transitioning to elementary and secondary school during this critical period. Using Community Partnered Participatory Research, we developed Building Better Bridges (BBB), a caregiver coaching intervention that includes training on effective school communication, educational rights, advocacy, and child preparation strategies. We compared BBB (n = 83) to a module/resources-only comparison (n = 87) in a four-site randomized controlled trial in racially and ethnically diverse, under-resourced communities. In our intent-to-treat analysis, caregivers and teachers in BBB rated students’ transitions to the new classroom as more positive, relative to the comparison group. Results suggest this low-cost intervention can improve the transition process for families and students at high risk of poor transitions.
