Popis: The concluding chapter brings home the importance of teaching play and social behavior not only in terms that they are behaviors that should be firmly planted in any child’s repertoire but for other reasons as well. Play and social skills have implications for much more far reaching consequences of positive gain. In this chapter, it is proposed that play and social skills are behavioral cusps that continue to perpetuate their value by opening the world up to children with ASD and lead to other behavioral cusps which continue to widen the reinforcement communities for the children. Three brief case studies are provided for illustrative purposes. Toward this end, play and social skills are indeed of utmost importance when crafting the most positive prognosis a child can have.
