Social Skills Improvement System

The current study examined the psychometric properties of a set of maximally efficient items (SMIs) from the Social Skills Improvement System–Teacher Rating Scale (SSIS-TRS). Sixty-three teachers rated 302 second through sixth graders on these SMIs, and several concurrent validity measures were administered. Results provided initial support for the validity of scores from the SMIs. Implications for practice and psychological research are discussed.

Despite the need for assessments targeting social and emotional learning (SEL) skills within multitiered systems of support, there are few brief SEL measures available. To address this need, this article describes the development of the Social Skills Improvement System—Social and Emotional Learning Brief Scales-Teacher Form (SSIS SEL b-T), a significantly shorter version of the Social Skills Improvement System—Social and Emotional Learning Edition Rating Form-Teacher (SSIS SEL RF-T). Using the SSIS SEL standardization sample and item response theory, we identified efficient sets of items for each SSIS SEL RF-T scale and examined psychometric evidence for resulting scores. In general, SSIS SEL b-T scales functioned well and very similarly to scores from corresponding SSIS SEL RF-T scales. One exception was the Self-Awareness scale which, similar to its long-form counterpart, exhibited several content and psychometric limitations. Results provide initial psychometric evidence for a time-efficient teacher-informant measure of SEL competencies with promise for use within multitiered systems of support.

The Impact

The present study determined the effectiveness of augmented reality on the social skills of children with high Functioning autism. The present study was a quasi-experimental study with a posttest test with a control group. The statistical population of the present study included all children with autism with high performance in Andimeshk in 2019. Participants included 20 children with high-functioning autism who were selected by available sampling method and randomly selected in the experimental and control groups. They were evaluated using the Bellini social profile, and then augmented reality was performed on the experimental group in 10 45-minute sessions, while not on the control group. The findings were analyzed using covariance analysis and showed that the augmented reality intervention program had an effect on the social skills of children with high-functioning autism. Based on these results, augmented reality intervention program can be considered as a priority for rehabilitation of children with autism with high performance.
