Study: Autism social-skills training ineffective
Programs to teach social skills to children with autism are largely ineffective and result in little change outside the classroom, according to an Indiana University meta-analysis of 55 published research studies, which appears in this month's Journal of Remedial and Special Education. Although outcomes for such training were poor overall, programs in normal classroom settings were more likely to result in positive changes than those in pull-out settings. ScienceDaily (06/26/2007)
