Creating a reward system when the child interacts with a person is a positive approach that reinforces the child's desirable behavior and increases socialization skills. Punishing the child when the child's social behaviors are inappropriate may lead to negative outcomes and may not increase socialization skills. The use of dolls may have limited effectiveness in teaching social skills as the child with ASD may have difficulty generalizing skills learned from play to real social situations. Enrolling the child in a day-care facility may not necessarily be effective in enhancing socialization skills as children with ASD may have difficulty in large group settings and may require individualized attention and support.
