Official Title: Evaluation of the Effectiveness of a Social Skills Group Intervention Program for Children and Adolescents With Autism Spectrum Disorder
Brief Summary: Research evaluating effectiveness of social skills intervention programs for children and adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder is still limited.
The main objective of this study was to develop an adaptation of the Social Adjustment Enhancement Intervention program form the University of California for a group of children and adolescents with autism. Our secondary goal was to evaluate the effect of our program through specific indicators. We hypothesized a decrease in comorbid symptomatology, as measured by questionnaires. We also expected an increase in social behaviors, measured through observational methodology.
