Individuals with autism exhibit a detail-focused cognitive style of processing information that overlooks connections and shows weak central coherence. A six-session instructional intervention to foster coherence processing was administered to first and second graders (N?=?10) while a control group (N?=?10) received an irrelevant treatment, mean age 7.06 years, 18 males and 2 females. Results showed that the instruction benefited children's comprehension of narrative text. The intervention improved children's ability to retell a narrative text and improved first graders' use of sequence words to retell a story compared to control students. Findings carry implications for designing reading instruction for this special population.
