这项研究测试了一种新的社会技能干预的有效性，社会技能组干预高功能自闭症（S。S. GRIN-HFA），旨在改善高功能自闭症谱系障碍儿童的社会行为。55名儿童被随机分配到S。S. GRIN-HFA处理（n = 27）或对照（即，传统S. S. GRIN干预; n = 28）。对功能变化的方向和幅度的检查显示，参加S。S. GRIN-HFA表现出显着更大的掌握社会技能的概念相比，在控制组的儿童。S的父母。S. GRIN-HFA组的参与者报告了社会自我效能感的改善，而对照组参与者的父母报告了下降。如S. S. GRIN-HFA，专门为儿童设计的高功能自闭症谱系障碍，进行了讨论。
This study tested the efficacy of a new social skills intervention, Social Skills GRoup INtervention-High Functioning Autism (S. S. GRIN-HFA), designed to improve social behaviors in children with high functioning autism spectrum disorders. Fifty-five children were randomly assigned to S. S. GRIN-HFA treatment (n = 27) or control (i.e., traditional S. S. GRIN intervention; n = 28). Examination of the direction and magnitude of change in functioning revealed that children who participated in S. S. GRIN-HFA exhibited significantly greater mastery of social skill concepts compared to children in the control group. Parents of S. S. GRIN-HFA group participants reported an improved sense of social self-efficacy, whereas parents of control participants reported a decline. The advantages of a specialized intervention such as S. S. GRIN-HFA, designed specifically for children with high functioning autism spectrum disorders, are discussed.
