Sixteen adolescents with ASD aged from 10 to 15 participated in this program and were assessed with pre-treatment and post-treatment measures in social cognition. Parents completed measures of child social reciprocity, pragmatic communication and executive functioning was used to determine whether the intervention influenced a socially valid outcome. The findings indicated significant gains on specific assessments measuring emotion recognition, theory of mind and pragmatic language. Slight changes were demonstrated on parent ratings of social competence and executive functioning, including behavioral regulation and metacognition, demonstrated a significant increase. Results suggest that this approach can be effective in improving social cognition in individuals with ASD, but clinicians must still pay attention to extend this positive outcome to daily activities.
