Fifty-five children were randomly assigned to S.S.GRIN- HFA treatment ( n = 27) or control (i.e., traditional S.S.GRIN intervention; n = 28). Examination of the direction and magnitude of change in functioning revealed that children who participated in S.S.GRIN- HFA exhibited significantly greater mastery of social skill concepts compared to children in the control group. Parents of S.S.GRIN- HFA group participants reported an improved sense of social self-efficacy, whereas parents of control participants reported a decline. The advantages of a specialized intervention such as S.S.GRIN- HFA, designed specifically for children with high functioning autism spectrum disorders, are discussed. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts randomized controlled trial Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
