1. While the numbers of hosted get-togethers increased, a significant increase in invited get-togethers was not reported. This suggests that although teens were effectively able to organize social activities in the home and community with friends, these invitations were not significantly reciprocated by the end of the treatment. However, we are only looking at a period of 12 weeks, which is a short period of time to expect close friendships to develop and reciprocal invitations extended. This observation should be revisited in a follow-up study.
2. As well, the human factor involved in research surfaced. For example, less than half of the teacher reports were returned to the researchers and believe it or not, parents may be biased reporters of the activities involving their child.
