Brief Summary

Significant differences in the number of actions were found between periods A1 and B(TAU=-0.88,P<0.01), A1 and A2(TAU=-0.77, P=0.02), A1 and C(TAU=-0.83,P=0.02), B and A2(TAU=0.86, P<0.01), and A2 and C(TAU=-0.69, P=0.03), except between periods B and C.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
A total of 26 group activities routinely conducted at the center were recording on videos, and the number of problematic behaviors of the participant during group activities will be measured. We used ABAB design (withdrawal/reversal design)of single case experimental methods, A1: 6 times in the baseline phase, B1: 8 times in metacognitive enhancement program phase, A2: 8 times in the non-intervention phase, B2: 6 times in the SST intervention phase. After the baseline period, the first video analysis was already conducted to identify targeted problem behaviors. A second video analysis will be conducted to measure the number of problem behaviors by a different evaluator from the group implementer and researcher after the completion of the entire program.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
The subject's self-perception of communication symptoms throughout the four periods assessed. Assessment performed using the Self-Regulation Skills Interview (SRSI) in Japanese before the baseline phase and on the last day of B1, A2, and B2 phases.
