| Résumé : |
The current study presents preliminary data from an ongoing research project evaluating a summer treatment program for children with Asperger disorder (AD). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a cognitive-behavioral treatment program on the social behaviors of 6- to 13-year-old children with AD. Overall program effectiveness was the focus of analyses at this time, but two treatment configurations were also tentatively compared: social skills instruction only (SS) versus social skills instruction and behavioral treatment (SS+BT). Results of the study indicated significant improvement in social skills for the overall program based on parent and staff reports. In addition, parents reported a significant improvement in adaptability and reduction in unusual behavior for their children. In contrast, staff reports reflected no significant change in adaptability and an increase in unusual behaviors. Comparison of the two treatment configurations indicated no significant difference between SS and SS+BT. Implications for treatment and future research are provided. |
