What role does Piaget's Cognitive development theory and Vygotskys social approach play in children with autism?
Piaget's Cognitive development theory focuses on how children construct knowledge through their experiences and interactions with the environment, which can help in understanding how children with autism perceive and make sense of the world. Vygotsky's social approach emphasizes the importance of social interactions and cultural context in cognitive development, offering insight into how social interventions and scaffolding can support children with autism in their learning and social communication skills. Integrating aspects of both theories can provide a comprehensive framework for understanding and supporting children with autism in their cognitive and social development.
