Abstract
Peer relations comprise a core deficit in ASD, yet, relevant interventions are scarce. This study present result of a manualized evidenced-based peer intervention that successfully improved preschoolers with ASD's peer play interaction and conversation. Strengthening ASD's ability to interact with peers holds promise for reducing this high-risk population’s social withdrawal.
