Social skills are important treatment targets for individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) across the lifespan. However, few treatments are available for adolescents and adults with ASD who also have severe to profound intellectual disability (S/PID). Several social skill interventions have been described that may improve social skills in this population, including video modeling, developmental, peer-mediated, behavioral, and structured teaching interventions. However, significant challenges in research design and methodology exist across these studies. This paper reviews research examining social skill interventions for youth and adults with ASD and S/PID and points out weaknesses and challenges in this literature. We propose a developmental framework of adapting early childhood interventions for use with youth and adults with ASD and S/PID as one starting point for intervention development.
社交技能是自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)患者整个生命周期的重要治疗目标。然而,对于那些同时患有严重至极重度智力障碍(S/PID)的青少年和成年人来说,可用的治疗方法却很少。已经描述了几种社交技能干预措施,这些措施可能会改善该人群的社交技能,包括视频建模、发展、同伴介导、行为和结构化教学干预措施。然而,这些研究在研究设计和方法上存在着重大的挑战。本文回顾了针对 ASD 和 S/PID 青少年和成年人的社交技能干预研究,并指出了该文献中的弱点和挑战。我们提出了一个将幼儿干预措施应用于 ASD 和 S/PID 青少年和成年人的发展框架,作为干预措施开发的一个起点。
