Engaging in peer activities is particularly beneficial for students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) because it fosters the development of positive social skills. Participation in group settings provides opportunities for these students to practice communication, share experiences, and learn appropriate social interactions. By interacting with peers, they are more likely to enhance their understanding of social cues, improve their ability to initiate and maintain conversations, and cultivate friendships, all of which contribute to their overall social competence.

In addition to directly impacting social skills, peer activities can create a supportive environment where students with ASD feel accepted and valued. This acceptance can greatly boost their confidence and willingness to engage with others, further reinforcing positive social behavior over time.
