This workshop will describe innovative methods for assessing Theory of Mind in children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) using both parent report and broad based theory of mind measures. Case examples will be used to identify areas of challenge in theory of mind, develop goals and recommend strategies for intervention. The use of social stories, comic strip conversations, and video modeling (including video self-modeling) will be explained as strategies to facilitate theory of mind and perspective taking in children with ASD. Videotaped examples of theory of mind assessment and intervention will be presented.
