Abstract EN
The purpose of this paper was to evaluate the effects of a Social Story intervention on the behavior rates of 4 young children with autism using a multiple-baseline across participants design.
The results of this paper indicate that the Social Story was modestly effective in increasing prosocial behavior rates in 3 of the 4 participants, though none of the participants reached the prosocial behavior rates of age and gender-matched peers.
The problem behaviors of the participants modestly decreased with the intervention.
Maintenance of skills over a 1-month period was demonstrated for all of the participants.
The variable and inconsistent results of the research add to the current literature base in support of the use of Social Stories for some children with autism.
