A Systematic Review of School-Based Social Skills Interventions and Observed Social Outcomes for Students with Autism Spectrum Disorder in Inclusive Settings
Dean, Michelle; Chang, Ya-Chih
Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, v25 n7 p1828-1843 Oct 2021
This review examined school-based social skills interventions for students with autism spectrum disorder who were educated in inclusive school settings. Secondary aims sought to explore observation protocols and the resulting social outcomes used to measure the social behaviors of students with autism spectrum disorder within authentic social environments at school. To meet the inclusion criteria, 18 studies (a) tested school-based social skills interventions for students with autism spectrum disorder who were educated in inclusive settings; (b) included typically developing peers to some degree within the intervention condition; (c) used naturalistic observation protocols; and (d) scored "strong" or "adequate" for group design, or "high quality" or "acceptable" for single-case design on methodological rating scales. Interventions were largely rooted in evidence-based practices, but were varied in terms of type, dose, and duration, and the extent to which typically developing peers and school personnel were trained to participate in the intervention. Observable social outcomes were similar across studies, and salient outcomes were able to measure post-intervention change across a wide age range. The identification of the active ingredients used in school-based social skills interventions as well as the salient social outcomes provides a roadmap for school practitioners as they move to incorporate evidence-based social skills interventions into their practice.
