Teaching Board Games to Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder
Recorded in 2023
Individuals with autism spectrum disorder often have reduced play skills, interfering with their ability to interact with same-age peers. The teaching interaction procedure has been found to be effective in teaching social skills to autistic individuals. In this study the teaching interaction procedure was used to teach board games to two children diagnosed on the autism spectrum. Dr. Leaf will describe the details and results of the study and provide clinical implications for those who work with autistic individuals.
