Abstract

Mastery of nonverbal communication skills is closely related to the independence of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The learning environment also contributes to the mastery of nonverbal communication skills. Inclusive schools and special schools provide different learning environments in mediating the development of communication skills. In this study, a test was conducted to compare the level of mastery of nonverbal communication skills of children with ASD in inclusive schools and in special schools. The sample of this study was 20 high school students, 9 from inclusive schools and 11 from special schools. The finding of this study concludes that ASD children in inclusive schools have better expressive nonverbal communication skills than those in special schools.
