Abstract
Support programs for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have grown rapidly in recent years, and many initiatives have been designed to provide direct support. However, no intervention programs have been established for individuals with autism spectrum disorder who are reluctant to receive support. The Community Reinforcement and Family Training (CRAFT) program is regarded as a useful resource for motivating reluctant individuals with autism spectrum disorder to accept support. However, the CRAFT program is not available to people who have autism spectrum disorder and who have also committed acts of serious domestic violence or perpetrated crimes. The present study describes a program that integrates CRAFT, support for individuals with autism spectrum disorder, and crisis intervention, and discusses some additional considerations.
