Abstract

Preschool classrooms provide a unique context for social engagement/learning in autistic children. Location tracking was used to derive objective measures of social contact in preschool inclusion classrooms. Results demonstrate the concurrent validity of objective measures of social contact with teacher-rated measures of social abilities in children with and without autism.
