Extension of Research on Social Skills Training Using Comic Strip Conversations to Students without Autism
Pierson, Melinda R.; Glaeser, Barbara C.
Education and Training in Developmental Disabilities, v40 n3 p279-284 Sep 2005
Comic Strip Conversations is a positive behavioral support strategy that has been used effectively to improve the social skills of students with autism. Research on the effectiveness of this strategy was extended to four students with other mild/moderate learning, cognitive and behavioral disabilities. Two elementary teachers used Comic Strip Conversations for a period of six weeks with four 6-10 year olds who exhibited difficult social behaviors. All participants improved their perceptions of social situations, exhibited appropriate social growth, began to generate their own solutions to difficult social situations, and demonstrated a decrease in target behaviors.
