For Children and Adolescents With Asperger Syndrome and Social-Communication Problems
by Jed E. Baker, Ph.D.
How long is it okay to look at somebody? How do I know when to change the topic, even when I want to continue talking about my special interest? How do I say "no" to peer pressure? Kids with Asperger's Syndrome need answers to questions like these, and they'll find them in this comprehensive and user-friendly book. Social Skills Training focuses on 70 skills that commonly cause difficulty for individuals with autism spectrum disorders and social-communication problems. For each skill there is a reproducible handout, as well as activity sheets listing ways teachers and parents can demonstrate, practice, and reinforce the skill in the classroom and at home. A concluding chapter on promoting peer acceptance offers sensitivity training programs for both students and school staff, making this a complete social skills training package for students of all ages. Paperbound, illustrated, 231 pp.
"If you've been searching for a social skills curriculum that really works, you've found it!"
