Abstract/Summary
The purpose of this study is to describe the social interaction of autistic children enrolled in the afternoon Special Education Program of Aurora A. Quezon Elementary School in Manila. This school uses the following teaching strategies in their classes: (1) peer grouping, (2) teaching social skills, and (3) free play. Five male students with mild Autism are our main subjects in this study. Each case was studied through three ways: (1) teacher's interview and evaluation, (2) parent's interview, and (3) observation. The results indicate that most of them responded well to the three teaching strategies especially on teaching social skills such as prompting and imitating. Among the three strategies employed, teaching social skills is the most influential to the students, compared to peer grouping and free play.
