Increasing Social Success in the Classroom for Individuals with High Functioning Autism & Asperger’s

This webinar by Dr. Kim Lucker-Green focuses on strategies for improving social success in the classroom for individuals with high-functioning autism and Asperger’s. It highlights the complexity of social competence, which requires various skills like communication, self-awareness, and emotional regulation. A key takeaway is that social skills interventions have historically been minimally effective due to issues like lack of individualization and difficulty in generalizing skills to natural settings. However, research suggests that ABA-based strategies, classroom-based interventions, and motivation-focused training can improve outcomes. The discussion emphasizes the need for personalized, real-world social skills training.
