Interaction Skills

Severely behavior disordered children with accompanying multiple handicaps usually have little or no appropriate social interaction skills. The purpose of this study was to determine if naive (i.e., untrained), normal children's interaction with severely behavior disordered children would increase the rate of appropriate social behaviors exhibited by the behavior disordered children. Results indicated a significant increase in social interactions when nonhandicapped children were assigned to play with a specific behavior disordered/multiply handicapped child. The described intervention strategies are replicable for rural programs.

Education is a social process that can't happen without interaction between individuals Learning is a personal and social proccess when the child is in touch with other children in building understanding and knowledge together. Generally, Early Childhood have a low social interactions skill. This is evidenced by the frequent fights with his friend and selfish. Similarly in general, children who have mental disorders such as children with autism, Down syndrome, the hearing impaired etc, has the low skill ability in social interaction and communication. children who have maximum social interaction skills will be easier to be accepted in the school environment, especially in a classroom environment. Therefore it the children of inclusion is still an early age need to be assisted in improving the ability of social interactions at school, because the period of early childhood is a period of development the right to develop, improve and optimize all the capabilities of a child, even this period is an effective time to train and familiarize children to develop social interaction skills of children.

The purpose of this study was to assess teachers' judgments of the acceptability, feasibility, and current use of child specific, peer-mediated, and environmental arrangement intervention strategies for promoting social interaction skills of young children with disabilities. One hundred thirty-one teachers from five geographical areas participated in this study. Using the Social Interaction Program Features Questionnaire, these teachers reported that a high percentage of their students needed to acquire peer social interaction skills and that there was a moderate to great need for curricular or instructional materials. The overall mean ratings for the three types of intervention strategies were generally positive and did not differ significantly, suggesting that teachers found all three types of interventions acceptable and feasible. However, the range of item ratings for specific techniques within the broader classes of interventions suggested that certain procedures were relatively more or less acceptable and feasible than others. Barriers to implementing the program included limited teacher time, resources available to teachers (i.e., space, staff, materials), and access to peers without disabilities. Teacher ratings of feasibility were related more closely to current use of procedures than were ratings of acceptability.

Abstract Background: Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) tend to have communication and social interaction deficits. Their impaired communication is derived from difficulties in acquiring language. The use of interactive technologies has been demonstrated to enhance verbal and non-verbal communication, as well as the social interaction tendencies of children with ASD. Artificial intelligence has played a growing role in the habilitation of children with ASD. However, little research exists on the possible roles and effectiveness of virtual voice assistants in developing language and social skills in children with ASD. This study examined the effects of using a voice assistant in children with ASD on two outcomes: speech skills (expressive verbal vocabulary and production of short phrases) and social interaction skills (playing/sharing). Methods: An interventional single-case design study was used to explore this concept using three children with ASD between the ages of 4 and 11 years. The participants used an accessible virtual voice assistant, Apple’s Siri, for three months. Pre- and post-intervention questionnaires and semi-structured interviews with mothers were administered to measure the communication and social interaction skills of the participating children. Results: Participant One, Two and Three showed a notable improvement in the total number of correct words produced with fewer attempts during the VVA intervention compared with the baseline phase. Further, all participants showed increases in the social interactions in the intervention phase, compared with the baseline phase. Finally, all the mothers noted improvement in their children’s speech intelligibility and social interactions. Conclusions: Results showed that the virtual voice assistant had positive effects on the speech and social interaction skills of children with ASD. The findings of this study implied that children with ASD can use readily available voice assistant software to improve their speech and social interaction skills. Furthermore, this study’s findings could be used to develop strategies to increase the availability of artificial intelligence infrastructure in schools and homes to help children with ASD.

Children with visual impairments (who are blind or have low vision) should be given the chance to develop locomotor and social interaction skills at the same time as sighted students. Since play is a natural medium through which children learn, a number of activities can easily be incorporated into peer-play situations at school. These activities enable children to practice moving and orienting themselves properly in relation to others and their surroundings and to be better prepared for social interactions with sighted children.

In order to collect the required data, the researchers developed a questionnaire that consists from 50 statements.It was concluded that the level of practicing the social interaction skills by Jordanian elementary school students is low from the perspective of the sampled teachers. That is because the total arithmetic mean is 1.80. As for the total standard deviation, it is 0.71. In addition, the means of all the questionnaire statements are within the moderate and low levels. In the light of the study’s results, the researchers recommend the following:Promoting the role of the music education at private and public schools.
