Abstract	Background: The aim of this study was to determine the clinical efficacy of combining self-management strategies and a social thinking approach to address the social performance and executive function of an adolescent female with autism spectrum disorder. Method: This research examined the effects of a social knowledge training program, "Think Social," as well as strategies to improve higher order cognitive abilities. Results and Conclusion: Although quantitative improvement was not found, several qualitative gains in behavior were noted for the participants of this study, suggesting a benefit from using structured environmental cues of self-management strategies, as well as improved social understanding through social cognitive training.
