Children with Asperger's Disorder often have so many problems with social skills that it is hard for a single therapist to make progress on all of the issues. One way to get around this is to train the family to provide social skill therapy. This paper reports a case study of a mother and sister working with a boy with Asperger's to teach him social skills. The therapy was a little harder because the mother was blind. The authors suggest that the training process may have been more fun for the sister if it had involved movies. The boy was able to gain social skills as measured during therapy and three months after the end of therapy.
