The process of attributing or assessing our circumstances is a neglected area for young people with Asperger Syndrome and other pervasive developmental disabilities, yet it poses severe challenges for them. The ECLIPSE Model targets the global skills needed to improve social competence, such as executive functioning, theory of mind, causal attribution, processing speed, and working memory. Without effective use of these skills on a regular basis, development of other areas of functioning, such as academic, adaptive or activities of daily living, and social and vocational skills will be challenged. This curriculum provides step-by-step lessons for teaching these vital skills in a way that is motivating to young people.
