The Effectiveness of Counselling Techniques in Addressing Social Skills Deficits in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder in Special Education Settings

Abstract

Social skills issues are common in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and they can have an impact on their academic achievement, peer interactions, and general emotional well-being. To address these issues, special education settings commonly employ therapeutic approaches such video modelling, social tales, cognitive-behavioral therapy and peer-involved interventions. In addition to highlighting evidence-based interventions that have significantly improved the social skills and adaptive behavior of children with ASD, this study looks at the efficacy of various counselling approaches. The outcomes focus the value of an all-encompassing approach that includes parental participation, strengthening techniques, and proper social skills training in adopting meaningful social relationships for these children.
