The effects of social interactive training on early social communicative

skills of children with autism.

[Medline record in process]

Growing attention has been directed at the relation between early social

communicative skills of children with autism and subsequent development of

these children's social and communicative functioning. We reviewed 16

empirical studies that investigated the effects of social interactive

interventions designed to increase early social communicative skills of

young

children with autism by increasing their role as initiator of social

interactions. To identify factors relating to treatment effectiveness, we

analyzed studies in relation to participant characteristics, settings,

target

behaviors, training methods, and results. To determine durability of

treatment, we analyzed generalization effects across persons, settings,

stimuli, and time. Increases were found for social and affective behaviors,

nonverbal and verbal communication, eye contact, joint attention, and

imitative play. Limited generalization or maintenance of target behaviors

was

reported. Findings are discussed in relation to critical variables that may

relate to treatment effectiveness in future research and practice efforts.
