The approach that has helped children with autism learn to interact socially involves

A) operant conditioning.
B) stress inoculation training.
C) psychodynamic therapy.
D) aversive conditioning.

Operant conditioning has been found to be effective in teaching social skills to children with autism. This approach focuses on reinforcing desired behaviors and ignoring or redirecting undesired behaviors, in order to shape appropriate social interactions. Other therapies such as psychodynamic therapy and aversive conditioning have not been found to be effective in treating autism. Stress inoculation training may be used to help individuals cope with anxiety or stress, but it is not specifically designed to improve social skills in individuals with autism.
