Synopsis

Bundle includes Group Leader's Guide and 10 Student Workbooks

The new Skillstreaming Children and Youth with High Functioning Autism: Student Workbook Group Leader's Guide and Student Workbook accompany the successful manual, Skillstreaming Children and Youth with High Functioning Autism: A Guide to Teaching Prosocial Skills that teachers, counselors, clinicians, and other professionals use for teaching social skills to students with autism.

Specific strategies that have proven successful in aiding learning for youth with Autism are detailed along with examples of their use. Users can then apply the Skillstreaming process as outlined, and the learner-friendly strategies included in teaching many of the other social skills included in the Skillstreaming for Children and Youth with High-Functioning Autism program manual.

Research clearly suggests that teaching social skills to students with autism can help them get along with peers, make and keep friends, understand and solve conflict, and achieve personal and professional goals in their schools and communities as well as later on as adults. Social skills instruction can also help students learn to understand their emotions, control their behavior, and experience a greater sense of well-being.

A Skillstreaming leader will prepare and deliver lessons on these and other social skills by using the following four learning activities:

• Modeling (showing the child what to say or do)
• Role-play (the child will try out the skill just modeled within the group setting that will be needed in real-life situations)
• Feedback (explaining to students what they did well and what they can do differently the next time)
• Generalization (completing homework assignments to practice the skill in other situations and settings). Skillstreaming is organized to help students generalize social skills, or use the skills in real-life situations when and where they are needed.

The Student Workbooks and Leader's Guide give educators, clinicians, and school counselors a step-by-step procedure for introducing and proceeding with the Skillstreaming program. The numerous activities provided in the Student Workbook assist students in not only learning the Skillstreaming process, but key social nuances that will help them be more successful in their skill use.

Group Leader's Guide

The purpose of the leader's guide is to provide clear guidance to practitioners who implement the Skillstreaming learning procedures, thus providing an easily imitated model for instruction. Activities for group leaders to use to enhance students' skill performance are additionally provided throughout. The leader's guide has 66 pages.

Student Workbooks

The student workbook is intended to orient students with autism to the Skillstreaming process. Students will be asked to share this workbook with you when sections of the book have been completed within the Skillstreaming group. The student workbook has 77 pages.

NOTE: It is essential for successful implementation of this curriculum to first have the program book (Skillstreaming Children and Youth with High-Functioning Autism: A Guide for Teaching Prosocial Skills) before attempting to utilize other Skillstreaming products.
