Parent Training to Enhance Social Success for Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder

"Social SUCCESS will run for 12 weeks, with up to 5 children with ASD per group. Parents will attend didactic group sessions focused on motivating children with ASD to initiate to peers (90 min weekly) and will attend a portion of the existing 90 min social group to practice applying these strategies with their children and peer volunteers. Parent training will utilize the manual Improving Socialization in Individuals with Autism."

Participants assigned to the Wait List will continue stable community treatments for 12 weeks and will be provided an intervention similar to Social SUCCESS upon completion of all post measures.
