Abstract

Otizm spektrum bozukluğu olan bireyler için kritik bir konu hâline gelen sosyal beceriler ve bu becerilerin öğretilmesine yönelik etkili sosyal beceri uygulamalarının belirlenmesi oldukça önemlidir. Bu araştırmada da otizm spektrum bozukluğu olan bireylere sosyal becerilerin öğretilmesini konu alan meta analiz çalışmalarının incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaçla gerçekleştirilmiş olan uygulamaların incelendiği meta analiz çalışmalarına ulaşmak için Google Akademik veri tabanı kullanılmış ve toplamda 8 çalışma elde edilmiştir. Ulaşılan meta analiz çalışmaları; çalışmaların konusu, kaynak taraması, incelenen yıl aralığı, incelenen denek ve çalışma sayısı, deneklerin yaş aralığı, çalışmaların kalite düzeylerini belirlemek için kullanılan ölçekler, kullanılan etki büyüklüğü türü ve ulaşılan etki büyüklüğü düzeyi dikkate alınarak incelenmiştir. Sonuç olarak incelenen çalışmalarda okul temelli, video model ve akran aracılı uygulamaların yaygın olarak kullanıldığı ve çalışmaların yüksek etki büyüklüğü düzeyine sahip olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

The Effectiveness of the Interventions Applied to Improve the Social Skills of Children with Autism: A Review Study

Abstract

It is very important to identify social skills that become a critical issue for individuals with autism spectrum disorder and to determine effective social skills interventions for teaching these skills. In this study, it is aimed to examine the meta-analysis studies about teaching social skills to individuals with autism spectrum disorder. In order to reach the meta-analysis studies examining the applications made for this purpose, Google Scholar database was used and a total of 8 studies were obtained. The accessed meta-analysis studies were analysed in terms of the topics of the studies, literature review, the year interval examined, the number of subjects and studies examined, the age range of the subjects, the scales used to determine the quality levels of the studies, the type of effect size used, and the effect size level reached. As a result, it was found out that school-based, video model and peer-mediated interventions are widely used and the studies have high effect size level.
