Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the social and academic benefits of implementing a Cooperative Learning Program for a child with an Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The child’s levels of social and academic engagement during baseline and CL sessions were measured. Observation data indicated substantial rises in social engagement with peers. Parents and the teacher reported that the program had social benefits for the target child confirming results from behavioural data. The teacher also reported that levels of academic engagement were maintained during CL sessions. Recommendations for future interventions are outlined.
