Abstract

Social skills are an essential component of most healthy human relationships. For students with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), impaired social functioning is a common problem. Despite possible social skill deficits, many individuals with ASD desire social interactions. Improving the social skills of students with ASD is a necessary facet of inclusive education and multi-systematic approaches provide the most suitable vehicle to do this.
