All adults need strong social skills to find and keep a job,
establish relationships, and participate fully in adult life--but
building these skills can be a special challenge for people with
autism, Asperger syndrome, nonverbal learning disorder, social
anxiety, and other disorders affecting social learning. Give them
the essential support they need with this field-tested curriculum
for high-functioning adults, designed to build a broad range of
social skills through explicit instruction and coaching.
Based on the highly acclaimed Social Skills Seminar at the
University of Pennsylvania, this engaging, hands-on curriculum is
an invaluable addition to college counseling programs, vocational
rehabilitation groups, and any other program helping people with
social learning disorders. The first program of its kind to target
the social learning needs of young adults and adults, "Social
Literacy"
- Is proven effective. During more than 7 years of field testing,
these lessons improved the social skills of young men and women
with a range of social learning disorders.
- Goes far beyond the basics. Participants will learn more than
how to smile and make eye contact--they'll learn and practice the
high-level social skills they'll need to manage the complexities of
adult interaction.
- Helps participants generalize skills. Adults will reinforce and
generalize the skills they learn in class by working one to one
with a social coach (often recruited from a local college or
university).
- Adapts to any program's needs. Program leaders can choose which
lessons to emphasize, based on participants' specific needs.
- Targets the areas most critical to success. Each in-depth, 2-
to 3-hour class focuses on a key aspect of social success, so
adults will have the specific skills they'll need for employment,
relationships, and more.
With this book-and-CD set, professionals will have everything
they need to conduct a full 12 weeks of lessons. They'll get
practical guidance on establishing a social learning course,
strategies for recruiting and training social coaches,
photocopiable handouts, and exercises that help participants
understand and practice social skills, and a CD-ROM with more than
100 PowerPoint slides for instructional use.
A highly effective way to teach critical social skills to
high-functioning adults, this proven curriculum will prepare
participants to successfully navigate the joys and challenges of
adult life.
