However, there is a wide variety of effective intervention programs and strategies designed to help children with autism. Hence, this research aimed to see the effect of social skills training on interpersonal interaction of children with autism. Using pre-post equivalent experimental and control group design, data were collected from a sample of eight children using Autism Social Skills Profile Rating Scale before and after the implementation of social skills training. Data were analyzed through frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and independent samples t-test. The pre-intervention assessment revealed that participants of the experimental and the control groups did not significantly differ but both groups scored below half on the total scale point and almost one-third of the maximum score on social reciprocity and social participation sub-scales. The result of the intervention also indicated that children in both groups demonstrated positive changes in their overall social skills including the sub-scales. However, it was found out that the experimental group has greater mean scores as compared to the control group on total scale, social participation and social reciprocity subscales. But the increment on detrimental social behaviors subscale in the experimental group was with a decreasing rate. Based on this finding, it can be concluded that social skills training intervention improves social skills of children with autism. Therefore, it is recommended that further intensive and comprehensive intervention is very critical to more improve the social skills of children with autism. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: clinical trial research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
