How to stop your words from bumping into someone else' s and other really useful social stories : a guide for young children with Autism Spectrum Disorder
Description:
  • 26 leaves : illustrated ; 30 cm
  • "Teaching communication skills to children on the autism spectrum can sometimes be a daunting and time consuming task. Much depends on the cognitive ability and the degree of severity of the deficit in the child. Because of the impairments it is often necessary to teach fundamental skills, as well as the reasons for interaction with others. The intuitive skills that are normally inherent within individuals in the non-autistic population are not necessarily present in those with autism spectrum disorder, for example, conversation is based on turn taking and often this basic skill needs to be taught first." - INTRODUCTION

Learning about friendship : stories to support social skills training in children with Asperger syndrome and high functioning autism
Description:
  • 144 p. : ill. ; 25 cm.
  • "Making friends can be a challenge for all children, but those with autistic spectrum disorder (ASD) can struggle more than most. This collection of ten fully-illustrated stories explores friendship issues encountered by children with ASD aged four to eight and looks at how they can be overcome successfully. Key problem areas are addressed, including sharing, taking turns, being a tattletale, obsessions, winning and losing, jealousy, personal space, tact and diplomacy, and defining friendship. The lively and entertaining stories depersonalize issues, allowing children to see situations from the perspective of others and enabling them to recognize themselves in the characters. This opens the door to discussion, which in turn leads to useful insight and strategies they can practise and implement in the future. Each story has a separate introduction for adults which explains the main strategies within it." - BOOK JACKET

What's the buzz? for early learners : a complete social skills foundation course
Description:
  • 262 pages : illustrated : 30 cm.
  • "For many, social thinking is hard-wired at birth and strengthens, quite naturally, through progressive experiences and encounters with others. However, for a variety of reasons, some children find it harder to think socially, develop socially and use their social tools suitably when it really counts. What's the Buzz? is the original social skills programme and became an instant best-seller, used by practitioners around the globe with children and young people, helping them to successfully transfer these skills into their everyday lives. By drawing on the modelling of targeted social skills, role play, explicit guidance, feedback and games, this resource is imaginative, very practical and is enhanced with visual materials and worksheets to accompany each lesson"--Provided by publisher.
