Children living with autism require a variety of interventions-the least of which involves social skill training. As professionals, we must move these children away from sitting and discussing skills and into a practical application during fun and interesting activities.
What: Whether in the private clinic or school, professionals have the ability to conduct social skills groups. Social skill deficits are a given in children with autism, unfortunately, widespread research on the necessary components of a program is not available. In separate studies, Bellini, Krasny, and Williams-White have identified promising strategies. These strategies such as role-playing, behavioral monitoring/feedback, learning in sequence/progression and more will be discussed in this session.
Why: Professionals have the desire to conduct social skills groups but perhaps not the time to plan and implement effective activities. Having a jumping-off point for activities allows the participant's creative juices to start flowing.
Results: Not only with the children in these groups be involved with interventions that show promise from a research base but they will enjoy the session more with will increase participation and motivation. The professional will be able to implement activities that address child-specific goals and collect accurate data.
What’s Next: The purpose of this session is a practical application. The intent is that the participant will be able to implement the newly learned activities and create their own.
Outcomes:
As a result of attending this session, participants will be able to:
1. Implement interactive activities during social skills groups.
2. Incorporate popular movies into the social skill curriculum.
Develop long-term, multi-week activities with pre-teen and teen-aged children.
