Product Details
Good communication and social skills are as important as reading, writing, and arithmetic for a developing mind. Comics for Social and Communicative Behavior is a book designed to help kids develop these skills in an engaging and developmentally appropriate way. The book utilizes research 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. Explicit instruction, simple, accessible language, and art make this volume highly accessible even to struggling readers, and the comic-based format is designed to engage and educate with clarity. The book is written by Vera Bernard-Opitz, a psychotherapist and behavior therapist who has assessed and treated over 1000 neurodiverse children, including those with ASD, around the world.
This book features over 130 comics showing common everyday scenarios. These scenarios guide the reader through a simple problem they may face, and how best to approach the situation. These scenarios and exercises target eight vital, long-term goals: making friends, reliability, teamwork, optimism, self-control, coping strategies, trustworthiness, and communication. Each long-term goal is broken down into short-term goals, and charts are provided to record progress through all goals. Readers are encouraged to apply these skills in their own life, with the goal of improving quality of life and strengthening their relationships at home, at school, and in future work settings.
