The aim of
this present study is to identify the effectiveness of Shelter House Play
Therapy towards the social responsiveness and social communication of children
with autism in Brunei Darussalam. Instruments including Social Responsiveness
Scale (SRS) and Social Communication Questionnaires (SCQ) were used to collect
data from 27 respondents; 12 respondents were the experimental group and 15
respondents were the control group. It also incorporates the perception of
parents and teachers towards the behaviour of their autistic children and
students. Split-Plot ANOVA (SPANOVA) and Independent Sample T-test analyses
were used to evaluate the treatment effectiveness of Shelter House Play Therapy
towards the social responsiveness and social communication in autistic
children. It was found that Shelter House Play Therapy has an impact towards
the social responsiveness and social communication in children with autism, and
there is a significant difference of social responsiveness and social
communication between the experimental group and control group in terms of pre
and post-test. These findings indicate the overall effectiveness of Shelter
House Play.
