Taken together, these results offer support for using an AVP as a component of a group social skills program for supporting children’s reciprocal social communication with their peers. The two biggest drawbacks of the program were (1) the amount of space needed to simultaneously run the group activity, AVP interactions, and role-play scenarios (two small rooms and two large rooms) and (2) the amount of time needed for each child to author the virtual peer; at most two pairs of children could interact with the AVP during each 2-hour intervention session. While the design of the current study required children to author the virtual peer individually and operate it with one partner, future studies could look at how to incorporate the AVP into the group activities so multiple children can benefit at once and not as much space is required.
