摘要

It is well understood that social interaction and meaningful engagement are important components to healthy childhood development; however, young autistic children often experience barriers within the social environment. These barriers may lead to more substantial challenges in the future, such as social isolation, co-occurring mental health concerns, and difficulties accessing both the social and learning environments. This study implemented a withdrawal design with two young autistic children enrolled in an early childhood special education classroom to examine the effectiveness of a Child-Directed Interaction approach on promoting social engagement with the classroom staff. Preliminary data indicates an increase in child social engagement and teacher skill use within the intervention, indicating a feasible and practical approach to supporting the engagement of young autistic learners.
