Social Skills Intervention

Structured approaches to teaching social interaction skills to individuals who experience difficulties in social situations, commonly used with people with Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, or social anxiety. Interventions may include direct instruction, modeling, role-playing, video modeling, and practice in naturalistic settings. Technology-based social skills interventions have gained popularity for their consistency, ability to provide safe practice environments, and capacity to collect objective data on progress. These include collaborative games, virtual reality scenarios, and tablet-based curricula.
