In Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) communication is often impaired. This study examined the effectiveness of Cognitive Pragmatic Treatment for adolescents delivered via telepractice (@CPT). The study included 14 autistic adolescents, 7 treated with @CPT and 7 participating as a control group. @CPT is a group program designed to improve pragmatic ability, that focuses on different expressive means (e.g., language, gestures, and paralinguistic cues). Results showed a significant pragmatic improvement after participation in @CTP, while control group participants showed no improvement. Despite the small sample, the results suggest the effectiveness of pragmatic interventions in telepractice with autistic adolescents.

Abstract

In Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) communication is often impaired. This study examined the effectiveness of Cognitive Pragmatic Treatment for adolescents delivered via telepractice (@CPT). The study included 14 autistic adolescents, 7 treated with @CPT and 7 participating as a control group. @CPT is a group program designed to improve pragmatic ability, that focuses on different expressive means (e.g., language, gestures, and paralinguistic cues). Results showed a significant pragmatic improvement after participation in @CTP, while control group participants showed no improvement. Despite the small sample, the results suggest the effectiveness of pragmatic interventions in telepractice with autistic adolescents.
