The goal of this special issue is to highlight recent work advancing supportive interventions that facilitate meaningful access for persons with autism, intellectual and developmental disabilities to inclusive community-based settings. The special issue includes a literature synthesis focused on informal education settings, interventions for critical skills such as pool side safety, and articles focused on adults with disabilities. Notable strengths include long-term follow-up of intervention effects, investigation of novel settings such as airports and informal educational settings, and inclusion of adults with disabilities.
