This book is great for anybody that is interested in teaching their own child, or a small group of children basic social skills. I like it because the entire session is organized so that anybody can follow it and conduct the social skills group.

I am a School Social Worker and use this book weekly in my special education student groups. I primarily use it with students with Aspergers, but have also used it with emotionally impaired students. I LOVE this book. There is a wonderful social skills checklist that I utilize to help write the IEP goals, too. I finally found the one book I constantly use.

This book was recommended to me as a resource for counseling a group of 3rd-5th grade boys in a self-contained behavior management class. None of the boys in the group had autism or Asperger's, but they displayed immature and impulsive behavior typical of many children with behavior problems. This book was a great help--most of the activities were appropriate for their ages and ability levels, and targeted their behavior goals. The format of the book is easy and helpful, with outlines, specific lesson plans, and multple activities for every lesson. The activities were what I appreciated the most--kids NEED to do more than just talk, and the games were varied and specific to the skills being taught so it was easy to apply them to the lesson. Very good book--don't think it can only be used with kids with autism!!

This manual is easy to understand and helpful in creating a setting for fertile learning. The target population was originally intended for those who registered high on the autism spectrum. Don't overlook this resource for those with weak social convention skills.

i found this book to be very helpful. my 12 year old son was diagnosed with aspergers three years ago. but now even in year 2006 not all educators know about aspergers, so my husband and i like so many other parents have to educate ourselves first and then educate others. after all we are our sons advocates. social skills training is very important for those diagnosed with aspergers. so school is not just 8 to 3 it is also morning noon and night at home.
