Pathways and Resources for Engagement and Participation (PREP)
Pathways and Resources for Engagement and Participation (PREP) is a collaborative problem-solving intervention that targets environmental barriers-physical, social, attitudinal, familial, and institutional-while leveraging adolescent and family strengths. Caregivers are integrated as key supports. The five-step process includes: (1) make goals, (2) map out a plan, (3) make it happen, (4) measure outcomes, and (5) move forward. We will set four activity-based transition goals using the Transition Planning Inventory-2nd Edition and Goal Attainment Scaling. Providers will use guided discovery to help adolescents and caregivers identify strategies that modify activities or environments to support participation in transition activities. Adolescents and caregivers will implement strategies between sessions and revise strategies with the provider in future sessions if unsuccessful. Participants will complete 12 weekly 60-min remote PREP sessions over 12-16 weeks.
