Abstract	This phenomenological study explored the perspectives of 6 children who participated in a social skills group. The children were identified as having significant social skills delays and 4 of the children had a disorder on the autism spectrum. Seven themes emerged: mutual acceptance and support, improved interpersonal skills, positive feelings about the group experience, understanding others' perspectives, improved ability to manage and express emotions, learning and practicing specific skills, and areas of improvement outside the group. Implications for group leaders and future research are discussed. (Contains 2 tables.) (As Provided).
