Children have a need to interact socially and be involved with others and to be a part of the social world around them. The need to interact socially and be involved with others is intrinsic to us all. The characteristics of autism are defined with a fundamental impairment in social interactions and social skills Social. Many children with autism have not developed the skills they need for spontaneous communication, and must therefore be taught. Helping students with autism develop communication skills—so that they can express their wants and needs, interact socially, share information, express emotions, and protest or escape aversive situations—is a priority. Programs that facilitate the development of communication mainly begin in structured settings; however, promoting generalization and facility in using language requires that interventions take place in natural settings such as community settings.

Functional language skills are best taught in the social context where they will be used and where they have real meaning. To develop social skills, students need to have the opportunity to participate and interact in a variety of natural environments. https://sites.google.com/site/lifeskillscentrebc/
