The Effect of the Peer Intervention Play Activities on the Positive Social Actions of Autistic Children

본 연구는 또래 아동들이 주도하는 놀이 활동 속에서 자폐장애 아동의 친사회적 행동의 변화를 알아보기 위한 연구로서 각 놀이 활동시 대상 아동이 보인 친사회적 행동의 빈도수를 점검하였고, E-CLAC에 의한 대인관계와 일반적 행동 변화를 사전․사후로 비교하였다. 그 결과 또래 아동의 사회적 행동의 시도가 자폐장애 아동의 사회적 반응을 증가시킴으로서 자폐장애 아동과의 사회적 상호작용을 증가시켰다
