If you have been waiting for a social skills training program that really works, this is it! Dr. Baker translates 20 years of outcome research and clinical experience into this new, user friendly model to support social skills training. There are 92 specific skill lessons covering:
  • Emotion management (frustration, anger, anxiety, OCD, social fears and depression)
  • Verbal and non verbal communication
  • Play and group interaction
  • Empathy, friendship and dating
  • Conflict management
  • Dealing with emergency situations
Social Skills Training is more than a manual of lessons as specific chapters clearly articulate the critical components of effective skills training including: partnering with clients to establish motivation, identifying relevant skill goals, teaching skills suited to the learners' language functioning, generalizing skills, creating accepting peer environments, and measuring progress. This is a must have reference for teachers, professionals and parents that hope to improve social functioning in their students.

"If you've been searching for a social skills curriculum that really works, you've found it! Jed Baker's long-awaited, much anticipated "how-to" manual is based on his enormously successful social skills training groups. The book covers everything from assessment and strategies for social skills training, to generalization of those skills, to behavior management, to the often-overlooked importance of promoting peer acceptance through sensitivity training. The core of this book, however, is the inclusion of individual skill lessons and activities (seventy in all) that address practically every social situation you can possibly think of. This book is a MUST-READ and should be part of every parent and professional's AS resource library!" - Lori Shery, president and cofounder, Asperger Syndrome Education Network (ASPEN®)
