Puppet script training effectively taught social skills like greeting and conversation to a preschooler with visual impairments. The child learned and used these new social skills during play with peers.

Area of Science:

  • Child Psychology
  • Special Education
  • Social Skills Development

Background:

  • Children with visual impairments often face challenges in developing social skills.
  • Early intervention is crucial for addressing social deficits in young children.
  • Sociodramatic play and script-based learning are potential tools for teaching social skills.

Observation:

  • A preschool child with visual impairments participated in puppet script training.
  • The training focused on greeting, responding to, and initiating conversations.
  • Peer interaction and generalization were assessed through free-play activities.

Findings:

  • The puppet script intervention significantly improved the child's social skills performance.
  • The child successfully learned and generalized the targeted social behaviors.

  • The study utilized a multiple-baseline single-case design to demonstrate efficacy.

    • Implications:

    • Puppet script training is a viable method for enhancing social skills in preschoolers with visual impairments.
    • Generalization of learned social skills to unstructured peer interactions is achievable.
    • This approach can inform interventions for children with similar developmental needs.
