Benefits of residential immersive life skills programs: a prospective study of autonomy and self-efficacy gains and sex differences in youth with disability

CONCLUSIONS: RILS programs can result in sustained improvements in autonomy and self-efficacy. Urgency for change and personal needs/priorities may contribute to growth experiences. We recommend including a social connectedness module that formally facilitates friendships and social development to better meet the social needs of all youth, especially females with disabilities.PMID:37246393 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2023.2216474
