This is Part 1 of the 5-part series, Targeting the Social, Academic, & Transition Needs of Young Teens with ASD. Many protocols used for assessing social communication skills of adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are based on behavioral observations. Social cognition encompasses processes underlying observable social communication behaviors, such as processes including personal constructs, which can be assessed using repertory grids. Repertory grids offer a person-centered view of social cognitive processes, which may provide a starting point for social pragmatic language intervention. This course is presented in partnership with the American Board of Child Language and Language Disorders (ABCLLD).
