Abstract
This study focuses on the development and evaluation of a training program for would-be mentors of adults on the autism spectrum. Relevant literature in this field is reviewed along with existing training and mentoring services for autistic adults, and the development of a mentor training programme described. The training programme was developed by the project team with advice from the project advisory and steering groups. This thesis reports on the development of participant feedback as to the effectiveness of the training model devised. Unlike many contemporary mentoring models in the field of autism, this project took a social model approach with training informed, designed and delivered with significant input from autistic people. In participant feedback, this aspect of the training was the best received. Following feedback from participants however, it is recommended that this training model be developed to be covered over a two-day period and contain added emphasis on the reliability and consistency of mentors, role boundary setting, and the facilitating of goal-setting.
