Forming healthy, solid relationships with their typical peers is a major challenge for most children with autism spectrum disorders. This comprehensive social skills curriculum has the dual purpose of helping educators develop appropriate social skills in children with pervasive developmental disorders while also fostering understanding and tolerance among typical peers and school staff. The curriculum includes built-in booster lessons, so the child receives multiple presentations of the material, thus reinforcing the lesson for better understanding and generalization.

The SOS: Social skills in Our Schools Transition Program is a four-year comprehensive curriculum, that prepares adolescents and young adults with autism spectrum disorder and other social interaction challenges (e.g., communication disorders, attention deficit disorder, social anxiety) for a productive adult life. The focus of the program is developing effective social behavior and communication at work and play (with family, friends, and in romantic relationships), on self-regulation/coping, planning and organization, self-advocacy, insight, and independent living skills. The goal to remove obstacles to success is achieved through didactic instruction and cognitive behavioral therapeutic activities in a skills group, as well as through peer mentoring and parent support. Planned practice and real-life experiences link individual skills together and promote generalization. Written and tested in collaboration with New York City Public School staff, this program is practical and innovative. It is effectively delivered in high schools and colleges, in clinics and other therapeutic settings as well.

Many students struggle to learn important social skills, like interacting positively with others and starting conversations. The time spent on lecturing in schools means that kids don't always have the time to use these skills in the classroom. The lack of social-emotional intelligence and the fact that school learning standards still are amiss when it comes to social-emotional learning are standing in the way of helping our children become what they are truly capable of becoming. Schools must implement social-emotional learning (SEL) programs into their schools. We must prepare our youth to be more humane and socially competent. If we fail, we will continue to have a generation of socially and emotionally inept youth. Our society's well-being and safety will continue to be at stake. Hardship lost opportunities, and damaged relationships with self and others will continue without improved social-emotional intelligence. This book is perfect for any educator or adult who works with children and is concerned about their social-emotional learning. So, don't wait any longer to join these amazing people. Invest in yourself and your youth right now by getting this book.
