Abstract	The prevalence of Autism is increasing each year. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2018) report 1 in 59 children have a disability of Autism. The main purpose of this qualitative multiple case study was to determine in what ways social skills transfer was evident in the general education setting and the home environment. The second purpose was to examine the preparedness of general education teachers and parents for the implementation of practices to encourage social-emotional learning in either the general education classroom and home/community environments. There is a push for students with Autism to be educated alongside their typically developing peers in the general education. One of the main characteristics of students with a disability of Autism is that they have difficulty forming and maintaining social relationships. Despite the concepts taught during social skills instruction in an isolated setting, there was a lack of transfer of social skills in the general education setting. The current case study encompassed four individual case studies and utilized methods of observation and interviews. This multiplecase study collected data through the use of direct observation and interviews with parents, general educations teachers, and a social skills specialist. The findings indicated there was a lack of understanding of autism and social communication, consistent collaboration among the general education teacher, social skills specialist and parent was lacking, general education teachers required support to transfer social skills into the general education setting, and the carryover of skills in the home and community environments was disconnected. This study concluded that social skills transference was evident across settings but there was a need for parent training, push in support to model appropriate social skills strategies, professional development for teachers, and more collaboration among staff.
