This week’s Tool demonstrates how to improve social and communication skills by implementing social scripts that tell individuals what to say in certain situations. The scripts are then gradually removed or faded.
Social scripting is an applied behavior analysis (ABA) strategy, an effective empirically based strategy for instructing individuals with autism spectrum disorders.
This Tool of the Week comes from Autism Spectrum Disorders: Family, Community, Social Skills, and Behavior. A Collection of Articles from TEACHING Exceptional Children.
