This table summarizes the differential scores for negative and positive features of the social and cognitive abilities assessment. Each number represents the difference of the score for the specific ability at the end of the treatment (T1) versus the beginning of the treatment (T0). Improvements are therefore positive numbers and they are highlighted in green, while worsening are negative numbers and are highlighted in red.
