About the Course

This presentation was featured at Geneva Centre for Autism's 2020 symposium and includes a previously recorded Q & A.

Impairments in social communication and interaction are identified as hallmark characteristics of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Depending on the severity of these challenges, some individuals with ASD may experience difficulties in the development of relationships and positive social interactions. Procedures that promote the development of social interest, social initiations, engagement and play are particularly useful for practitioners designing treatment programs for children with ASD. In this presentation, Dr. Alice Shillingsburg presents a variety of evidence-based procedures to promote social interactions and social communication with adults and peers.
