<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A dynamic teaching tool for children with autism or Asperger's Syndrome, "The Social Skills Picture Book" offers pictures of the right and wrong ways to handle nearly 30 social skills, such as conversation, play, emotion, management, and empathy.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Winner of an iParenting Media Award - now in Spanish! </p> <p>This picture book appeals to the visual strengths of students on the autism spectrum, with color photos of students demonstrating various social skills in the correct (and sometimes incorrect) way. The skills depicted are meant to be read, role-played, corrected when necessary, role-played some more and, finally, to be practiced by the student in real-life social situations. "Thought bubbles" show what people are thinking during these interactions (not always what you hoped!). Practical, engaging, and down-to-earth, this is a valuable tool to help teens navigate the often-mysterious rules of social conduct in everyday situations. Helpful sections include: </p> <li>Conversation</li> <li>Building and Maintaining Friendships</li> <li>Asserting Your Feelings</li> <li>Conflict Resolution</li> <li>Asking Someone Out on a Date</li> <li>Dealing with School and Work</li> <li>Dealing with Mistakes</li> <li>Working with Others--Compromising</li> <li>Job Interviewing</li><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Having earned his MA and Ph.D. in clinical psychology from the University of Albany, Dr. Jed Baker is a behavioral consultant for several New Jersey school districts where, nearly two decades ago, he organized a group to help children with social communication problems.
