Social Skills Training For Children With Asperger Syndrome & High Functioning Autism
Susan Williams White
This practical, research-based guide provides a wealth of tools and strategies for implementing social skills training in school or clinical settings.
Numerous case examples illustrate common social difficulties experienced by children with Asperger syndrome and high-functioning autism; the impact on peer relationships, school performance, and behavior; and how social skills training can help. Chapters delve into the nuts and bolts of teaching and reinforcing core skills in classroom, small-group, or individual contexts, emphasizing ways to tailor interventions to each individual’s needs.
A note from SWAN: ‘Asperger’s Syndrome’ is no longer used as a diagnosis and the term “high-functioning” is harmful, as it minimises the varied support needs of autistic people. SWAN does not endorse these terms, but recognises that this resource contains other useful information.
