The best social skills book for our family
By Dreamdog - January 5, 2004As a parent homeschooling a child with Asperger Syndrome, I�ve bought about a dozen books to help me teach my child social skills. This one is the most useful I�ve found. Most books on this topic are aimed only at teachers and are hard to adapt to use at home with one child; that�s not the case with this book. While the book includes instructions for school personnel and describes how to teach the skills in classrooms and small groups, it is relatively free of educational jargon and doesn�t waste too much space on things that useless to me, like reproducible handouts for the children to take home to their parents.The skills are broken down into small steps and are very specific, which is helpful with my literal-minded child. As a socially adept adult, I sometimes have trouble finding ways to explain social conventions, like the �Two-Question Rule,� as Baker calls it: �When others as you a question and you answer it, you can ask a... read more

The positives of the book are that a great number of important skills are covered and the strategies for teaching and reinforcing them are presented. These features will grab teachers desperate in most cases for some guidance.
In my opinion, the negatives are that not every skill is reducible to the format of the book. Many skills are more subtle and difficult to learn, and practice, than others. Also many communciation skills are primarily nonverbal and that needs to be emphasised when dealing with AS adolescents. These issues could have been addressed at... read more
Most practical book out there.
By Beth Sklar - March 27, 2005After researching most of the books on the market for Aspergers children and teens, this is surely the most practical source on social skills training. It's not a theoretical treatise, but a user-friendly way to quickly teach relevant skills to students with AS. I recommend to parents and teachers alike.
