Summer social treatment programs that include the Skillstreaming approach may help children with autism learn social skills.
This study was designed to see if a summer program can increase the social skills of children with high-functioning autism. Both parents and staff believed that the children gained social skills from the summer program. The parents and staff also believed that the children gained adaptive skills. The results from the summer school seemed to stem from the constant feedback given to the children from the staff. The study had 54 children ages 6-13.
