Abstract
This study measures the effect of an autism training program, Surpassing Obstacles Autism Retreat (SOAR), on empowerment outcomes of 49 parents/caregivers of autistic youth from the state of Maryland in the United States. A retrospective causal-comparative design was used to collect and analyze secondary data about SOAR training participants and compare their empowerment scores to those who attended a traditional peer support program with a child with autism (n = 14) and parents of children with mental health conditions (n=81). Data was collected using a modified pre/post empowerment survey already being used at the agency. Keywords: autism, parent involvement, peer support, empowerment
