Product Details

This practical book helps young adults, including those on the spectrum, learn socially acceptable behavior for common situations they may face throughout the day. Recommended by Temple Grandin, PhD, the book utilizes explicit instruction and evidence-based methods to help students build CASEL skills in the areas of self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making. This book is written by Katie Saint, a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst and Carlos Torres, a special educator who works full time designing skills programs and behavioral interventions for an in-home autism treatment program. The book breaks down family, friends, work, and community social situations to help provide tips on socially acceptable behavior in everyday situations.

Easy to follow directions help students master lessons. Each lesson includes helpful “do” and “do not” illustrations with bullet points that clearly explain what is appropriate, what isn’t, and why. The simple scenarios and illustrations help readers understand common social challenges. The lesson continues on the facing page with an example script, discussion questions, and a self-assessment. Each lesson is stand alone, so you can look up a scenario and use it as a teaching tool as needed (ex: “Do I interact well in groups?”, “Do I know how to deal with secrets?”, “Do I know how and when to text a friend?”, “Do I resolve my own conflict at work?”, etc.).

Resources at the back of the book include: Tone variation exercises, facial expressions examples, body language examples, socially appropriate attire examples, and self-assessment charts.
