Abstract: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a disorder characterized by deficits in social communication skills and interpersonal functioning [1]. These deficits make it difficult for children with ASD to engage in successful and meaningful interactions with their peers. This article will discuss how the Building Social Relationships (BSR) program [2,3]; can be modified into a format more amendable to a school setting. The information provided in this article will allow educators to structure the BSR program into manageable sessions, allowing flexibility in the school setting while complementing academic-based programming. This article will also summarize scheduling modifications that can be made to the original BSR program that better align it with the scheduling constraints of a school setting.
