Social Skills Programmes

From the authors of Autism: A Social Skills Approach for Children Adolescents, this publication contains detailed photocopiable session plans for different age groups ranging from early years to adolescence.

• Emphasises integrated working practices that cross professional boundaries
• The session plans are very flexible; they can be used as presented, or adjusted to include aspects of the national curriculum or to meet the needs of particular groups in oth clinical and educational settings.
• Primarily for able and verbal children with an autistic spectrum disorder, the programmes are relevant to the needs of a much wider group of children than those with a formal diagnosis.
• At the early-years level the programme introduces children to good attention behaviour, which includes looking listening and turn-taking. By adolescence, the participants are helped to deal effectively with real-life situations, as well as gaining some insight into the thoughts, perspectives and intentions of others.
