2 A high-functioning 9-year-old child with autism spectrum disorder In the context of the high-functioning 9-year-old autistic child case study, imitation/modeling, shaping, and forward or backward behavior chaining are successful therapies for boosting social interaction in autistic children (Cooper et al., 2022). Through direct guidance and encouragement for what they are doing, these strategies can help the child become more self- assured, socially aware, and motivated to engage with others. Imitation/Modeling This is a successful intervention for enhancing social involvement in autistic children. The idea behind imitation and modeling is that a child learns by watching and imitating others (Cooper et al., 2022). The child can then see the behavior they want in action and emulate it in a secure setting. Through imitation or modeling, the youngster can learn proper social skills, such as starting conversations, maintaining eye contact, and responding to inquiries. The child's belief in their abilities to engage in social interaction could increase as a result of this intervention ( Koegel et al., 2009 ). Since children receive immediate instruction on acceptable social conduct through imitation and modeling, these activities can also aid in the development of the child's social awareness. Additionally, since the child receives appreciation for what they are doing, imitating and modeling might improve their drive to engage in social interactions. As a result, imitation and modeling are successful interventions for boosting social engagement in autistic children. Shaping

3 Shaping entails dividing the intended behavior into manageable, smaller objectives (Cooper et al., 2022). After that, each successful move is rewarded with applause for the child. As they get an appreciation for their efforts, this might improve the child's drive to engage in social interaction. Furthermore, behavior shaping can aid in the child's social awareness by giving them detailed guidance on how to behave in social situations ( Koegel et al., 2009 ). As the child is given a chance to practice the desired behavior in a secure and encouraging environment, shaping can help boost their confidence in their capacity to interact with others. Therefore, the shaping machine is a successful strategy for boosting social connections in autistic children. Forward/Backward Chaining Another successful strategy for boosting social contact in kids with autism spectrum conditions is forward or backward chaining (Cooper et al., 2022). Forward chaining entails beginning with the initial action of the desired behavior and gradually adding further actions up until the activity is finished. Backward chaining involves starting with the final action of a desired behavior and reversing the order of the steps until the task is completed. As the youngster is given a chance to practice their desired conduct in a safe and encouraging atmosphere, this type of intervention can assist in improving their self-esteem and their capacity to interact with others ( Koegel et al., 2009 ). The child's social awareness can also be acquired via forward or backward chaining since they get clear guidance on proper social behavior. Furthermore, since the youngster receives praise for their efforts, forward or backward chaining may help strengthen their drive to engage in social interactions. As a result, either forward or backward chaining is a successful strategy for promoting social contact in children with autism spectrum disorders.

4 In addition, the behavioral intervention identified in this paper can help the nine-year-old child develop social learning behaviors. This is because, in most cases, children with ASD experience educational challenges. Since these interventions have proven effective, implementing them in schools can promote positive behavior in children with ASD disorders.
