The Hidden Curriculum: Practical Solutions for Understanding Unstated Rules in Social Situations,   ISBN:9781931282604

Customer Rating: 

Some helpful and clear information, though a bit of a hodge podge of thoughts. Concise, best for youngsters rather than adults.

If you are like most of us, you learned the Social rules for our society in a very Darwinian enviornment, failing over and over until somehow you figured it out. For the rest of us who need explicit help in figuring those rules out, this is best place to start! A great tool full of many of the rules and guidlines that everyone knows and no one teaches. If you work with any ASD/PPNOS students then this is a requirment to have on your shelf!

Customer Rating: 

This is OUTSTANDING for ANYONE attempting to improve their relationship skills. It is particularly good for those with learning disabilities.

Brenda Smith Myles opens up the world of "things we all know" about social rules in a way that makes it easier for the parent, teacher or specialist to both understand and to use in the education of those for whom such 'rules' are hidden or implicit. This is an eye-opening, hands-on book that will spend little time of your bookshelf! [But make sure you mark your copy or it will go 'walkabout'!]

Customer Rating: 

As an "inclusion" third grade teacher, this is the most practical book on the subject of helping young people develop better social skills that I've read. (And I've read quite a few.) It has valuable information for all students, not just Autistic Spectrum Disorder kids. Clear and simple background and discussion on the issue, followed by lists of social mores that kids might not naturally "pick up on." Eye-opening for teachers who think some kids are being purposely rude or silly...

I plan to do mini-lessons daily with my class using the lists in this book.
