- Children with autism spectrum disorders often lack social skills, and they may benefit from behavioral skills training by their parents. This study had four mother-son dyads complete a behavioral skills training that included instructions, modeling, role-play, and feedback. Mothers' behavioral skills training techniques and sons' social performance were measured at baseline, immediately post-training, and one month post-training. Results indicated that the training improved mothers' behavioral skills training techniques and children's social performance.
