Measure	Time frame
Scores of social communication skills, generalization of these skills to similar therapeutic stimuli, and performance in real-life communicative contexts. Timepoint: Assessments were conducted three times before treatment (two weeks, one week, and one day prior to treatment initiation), at the end of every 10 treatment sessions, and twice after treatment completion (4 and 6 weeks post-treatment). Method of measurement: This skill score will be derived from the scores of items or subtests related to social communication skills in each questionnaire (SRS-2), the Communication and Socialization subscales of the VABS, the social skills section of the parent SSRS form, as well as from the scoring of the researcher-developed semi-structured observation protocol.	—
