This presentation reviews common social skills deficits among individuals with ASD and how they present in adult social relationships. Components of effective intervention are discussed with an emphasis on targeting three critical areas of need: improving social fluency, increasing social flexibility, and generating social responsiveness.
This presentation includes case examples to supplement the presented material. Video clips of participants in The Multi-Media Social Skills Project for Adults (an ASERT project) provide clinical examples of social skills deficits and provide examples of strategies for intervention.
**This course also qualifies toward the Instructional Strategies category (IS731) but can only be applied toward one category.**
