This document outlines a presentation on promoting social skills and language through play. It describes using techniques like story time, handwriting, reading and a token economy board to work on skills with two participants, one with ASD and OCD and the other with CD and OCD. Pre-intervention data is shown on skills like eye contact and turn-taking. The document then covers post-intervention methods used like a token board exchanged for rewards, and reinforcement with praise and sensory items. Post-intervention data showed gains in both participants' social interaction skills.
