Aim and Background: This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of Theory of Mind task training and social stories training on social skills in children with autism in Tehran.
Methods and Materials: This quasi-experimental study included two experimental groups and one control group. The statistical population consisted of all children with autism in Tehran. The sample included 36 children selected by convenience sampling and randomly assigned to two experimental groups and one control group. Data were collected using the Social Skills Scale by Stein and colleagues (2010). Data analysis was performed using SPSS-27 software.
Findings: The results showed that the effect of social stories training on social skills in children with autism was greater than the effect of Theory of Mind task training. However, there was no significant difference between the effects of social stories training and Theory of Mind task training on the dimension of the ability to understand emotions and others' perspectives in children with autism.
Conclusions: Therefore, given the benefits of these interventions, it is recommended that these therapeutic methods be offered alongside conventional approaches to the autism community
