The purpose of this book is to provide readers with sufficient
knowledge regard ing social skills assessment and training with
children so that they can imple ment and evaluate social skills
programs on their own. Increased interest in promoting children's
social skills has stemmed in part from advances in research that
have shown the importance of childhood social competency for
adjustment in both childhood and adulthood. There is a growing need
for assessment and training methods that can be utilized by diverse
groups of professionals and paraprofessionals. This book is
intended for mental health workers, teachers, educators,
clinicians, and child-care personnel. The book thoroughly reviews
the literature to acquaint readers with relevant findings on social
skills and to pro vide discussion regarding contemporary issues and
assessment techniques. Sub sequently, comprehensive procedures in
the training of children's social skills are presented. Readers are
also provided with 16 detailed training modules, each of which
comprises a rationale, instructions, Scripts, and homework assign
ments. These modules are designed to permit effective
implementation of social skills training programs. Moreover, they
provide a structured and program matically designed format that
builds in clinical flexibility for their use with individual
children or groups of children. These modules are followed by a
clinical-issues section designed to address potential obstacles to
effective training. Following these major sections, two appendixes
have been included in the book. The first appendix is a
step-by-step description of how to conduct an assessment."
