Series: Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders 30 (5) 2000: 399-409.Publisher: 2000Content type: text Media type: unmediated Carrier type: volume Subject(s): AUTISM | INTERVENTION | SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR | SOCIAL COMPETENCE | SOCIAL INTERACTION | SOCIALISATIONSummary: Social dysfunction is perhaps the most defining feature of autism. Improved social functioning has long been considered one of the most important intervention outcomes. A variety of social interventions have been designed, empirically examined, and published in the autism literature. Children with autism have been found to be responsive to a wide variety of interventions aimed at increasing their social engagement with others, both adults and peers. Successful strategies employing peer-mediated approaches and peer tutoring have involved typically developing peers. Furthermore, several studies have demonstrated that social engagement directly affects other important behaviours like language, even when these behaviours are not specifically targeted by the teaching programme.
