Behavioral Therapy
- Behavioral therapies in Asperger Syndrome (AS) are used to help the patients with their social communication and to develop social skills.[1]
- Behavioral therapy in Asperger Syndrome (AS) include:[2]
- Sociobehavioral therapy
- Peer-evaluated intervention programs (improvement in irritability and social interaction)[2]
- Video or computerized training programs (improvement in social function)[2][3][4]
- Rote verbal learning of social rules[1]
- Parts to whole approach (verbal information is presented as a series)[1]
- Small classes and small group activities[1]
- AS patients should be integrated with their normotypical peers[1]
- Adaption of the curriculum for the child with AS (eg. allowing more time to complete tasks)[1]
- Adaptive skills should be taught explicitly (eg. by scheduling, practicing and rehearsing)[1]
- Targeted organizational skills (eg. the use of scheduling, scripts, lists (things to do’) or rules)[1]
- Social skills and pragmatic language training[1]
- Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)[2]
- Used in treatment of some associated conditions in AS such as depression, anxiety, social phobias and anger.[2][5][6]
