Summer programs that focus on social behavior therapy can be quite helpful for children with Asperger Disorder.
This study looked at a summer treatment program that was designed to improve the social behavior of 6-13 year old children with Asperger Disorder. After the summer, children showed improvement in social skills, adaptability, and atypicality. Many parents said that they found their children to be more social after the summer program. The parents also said that the children were better able to change tasks, share toys, and change routine (adaptability). The authors note that this paper reports only the very first results from the study.
