Brief Summary  

Need for the study:

Structured animated videos as an intervention strategy is a novel approach for dealing with sociopragmatic skills. Children with ASD learn better via visual modality. Visual technology is amusing to children overall and particularly suitable for the communication necessities of children with autism.

Children with ASD have core social and behavioral deficits. Therefore, to tackle these challenges, evidence-based intervention strategies are necessary. Only a few studies have been done in India with respect to social stories (SS) and comic strip conversations (CSCs) and as well as teaching through videos. Furthermore, validated content for SS and CSCs are unavailable in India, to use clinically. There has been little or no evidence on the effect of animated video materials in India, to use in ASD intervention programs

Aims & objectives

For primary objective: Development and validation of social stories, comic strip conversation and its’ validation. Optimizing and assessing the feasibility of the animated videos on children with ASD. 

For secondary objective: Administration of the validated videos in a group of children to test its efficacy


Method

The parents with be recruited among those who come to the department o
