common social skills deficits often present in students with ASD include difficulties interpreting other's emotions and poor social pragmatic skills.

for example ,a child with ASD may have difficulty interpreting both overt emotions and subtle emotions(e.g,someone is sad or frustrated).additionally,students with ASD often have difficulty greeting others,giving compliments,and listening to others.

for example ,a child with  ASD may have difficulty listening to others as demonstrated by not orienting their eyes and body toward the speaker.not listening to others may also be demonstrated by not reciprocating physical mannerisms that communicate paying attention,such as head nodding or vocal agreements(e.g.,yes,i see).a child who has difficulty giving compliments may not notice social cues from others that bid for acknowledgment of accomplishments(e.g.,drawing a picture),or praise or admire someone else(e.g.,i like your shoes)because they have difficulty taking someone else's perspective.

為何採用多重基線設計

there are many reasons for using a multiple baseline design to validate social skills interventions.first,mutiple baseline design does not require the intervention to be removed to demonstrate expriemental control.a mbl design also not require the use of a control group and therefore treatment is not withheld from any of the participants.mbl design also allows one to observe multiple behaviors simultaneously  while implementing the intervention in an individual,step-wise fashion,finally,mbl design allows the researcher to design the intervention for very specific behavior ,thereby individualizing the treatment,which is important when working with individuals with  ASD.

how to deep breath

1)identify the difference between when your body is tense and relaxed

sweaty palms ,butterflies in your stomach,tight muscles 

2)breathe deepy

3)discuss why and when to use deep breathing
