Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and Executive Functioning (EF) skills represent two of the most clinically significant — and underaddressed — domains in programming for autistic individuals and those with intellectual and developmental disabilities. While discrete trial training and naturalistic developmental behavioral interventions have produced well-documented gains in communication, adaptive behavior, and academic skills, learners with ASD and IDD continue to show persistent challenges with emotion recognition, perspective-taking, impulse regulation, cognitive flexibility, and planning — skills that are fundamental to independence, employment, and quality of life.
