Interventions Example of a social story:
People like it when I say "hi" to them.There are many times during the day when I can say "hi" to people.I can say "hi" to my family when I get up in the morning.I can say "hi" to my bus driver.I can say "hi" to my friends and teachers when I get to school.I can even say "hi" to people I see in the hallway.I can say "hi" to new people that I meet.I makes people happy when you say "hi" to them.I will try to say "hi" to the people I see during the day.

Implications
O we need to gather more information about long term studies in order to address the critics of some experts who say that there is not enough statistical hard evidence for some intervention claims.
O Long term studies may help answer questions about difficult cases where common intervention methods don’t work for some autistic children.

ConclusionO The United States has a longer
history of research and progress in this field. Therfore, some of the interventions can be helpful to education in Saudi Arabia.
