“…Similarly, Balcazar et al (1991) reported consistent results and generalization effects among older physically disabled students. Three university students aged in their 20s and one aged 40 years were included in an intervention that used roleplay to teach the skills necessary for individuals to recruit the help they may need to attain their own self-set personal goals.…”

Single-case research design studies that included a goal setting component in interventions for a broad array of participants engaged in a learner role were reviewed. A systematic search of the empirical literature identified 38 studies that met the inclusion criteria. These studies were evaluated in terms of participant characteristics, who set the goals (self or other), how goals were incorporated into interventions, type of behavior change goal setting was applied to and whether maintenance and generalization of intervention effects was assessed. Results highlight the potential benefits of including a self-set goal component in interventions aimed at assisting participants across the autism spectrum to achieve independent functioning. An agenda is proposed for future research exploring goal setting for this population.

“…This speaks not only to the promise of YIM but also to the potential for mentoring field more generally to do more to help young people develop their skills in effectively enlisting the support of others in the attainment of their personal and vocational goals throughout their lives. As the work of Balcazar and colleagues (Balcazar et al, 1995; Balcazar, Fawcett, et al, 1991; Balcazar, Majors, et al, 1991) indicates, training can improve the help-recruiting skills of youth, including adjudicated youth.…”

“…To our knowledge, there is no other literature on this kind of a youth nomination approach to the establishment of formal mentoring relationships. Almost two decades ago, Balcazar and colleagues set out to improve what they called “help-recruiting competencies” among university students with disabilities (Balcazar, Fawcett, & Seekins, 1991), African American students who were preparing to graduate from high school (Balcazar, Majors, et al, 1991), and adjudicated youth with disabilities (Balcazar, Keys, & Garate, 1995). Their results indicated that teaching adolescents to recruit help from adults can increase their social support networks and facilitate goal attainment.…”

Youth initiated mentoring (YIM) is an innovative approach to mentoring being implemented by the National Guard Youth ChalleNGe Program in which youth identify and select their mentors. There is great interest in this approach; however, there has been little study of YIM or its implementation in ChalleNGe. Retrospective in-depth qualitative interviews with former ChalleNGe participants (n = 30) were conducted to gain a descriptive understanding of the mentor selection process, the role these relationships played in participants’ experiences of the ChalleNGe program and in their lives more generally, and the nature and strength of these connections. Findings indicate that youth were able to successfully enlist the participation of mentors and YIM yielded enduring and emotionally supportive relationships. That the adults came from within their communities was viewed by these participants as having expedited the development of feelings of trust and contributed to the relevancy and meaningfulness of the guidance and advice offered.

“…Used interventions include a diverse set of approaches that include In fact, SST has consistently shown positive improvements in social skills, although not community functioning for people with severe mental illness (Bellack, 2004). Other noted interventions and services beyond general counseling or therapy used to address social skills deficits in a rehabilitation setting include role playing (Balcazar, Fawcett, & Seekins, 1991), behavioral interventions based on situational assessments (Bell, Lysaker, & Bryson, 2003), pyschoeducational treatment (Corrigan, Davies-Farmer, Lightstone, & Stolley, 1990), and service learning (Curtin & Garcia, 2011). Many approaches have been tested in the research.…”

Public rehabilitation agency staff, constantly faced with addressing work related social skills, possess many insights about salient skills and interventions that can benefit future research and practice. Agencies currently address social skills deficits by providing interventions to both person and environment. The research provides directions for future research related to identification of social skills and interventions to address related deficits.
