Official title
Building Social Skills in Children With ASD Characteristics Through Process Drama
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This is a one-group, pre-post feasibility study of an intensive, interdisciplinary (theatre, Occupational Therapy (OT), and Speech Language Pathology (SLP)) intervention targeted at social skill development in children, aged 3-4. The intervention uses process drama modified with OT and SLP techniques and using typically developing peer models. Feasibility outcomes are recruitment rates, retention rates, daily program records of ease of implementing program, and record of modifications needed. Child primary outcomes are Social Skills Improvement Scale (SSIS), Theory of Mind (T0M) Battery and Inventory, Structured Play Assessment (SPA), and Communication and Symbolic Behavior Scales (CSBS) scores within 4 weeks of program end. Secondary outcomes are brain activity in frontal lobe and temporal/parietal areas measured by high density EEG within 4 weeks of program end, parental interview at 3 months related to child's social skills, and observational data on social skills during the program.
