Last one! Social skills book?

[jina]

Anyone use this for homeschooling? It looks like it was written for a classroom setting. I wonder if it is adaptable for ds6 and 3 younger siblings. Anyone have another recommendation for building social skills?

I haven't found one that hasn't annoyed me with it's heavy-on-school perspective, but I do understand why that's the case.

I don't have the one you mentioned, but we do use this one:

For ds, I still think that writing our own social stories has been a more useful tool than any activity-type book, but the books help us out when we're lacking inspiration.

Here's a wonderful book for social skills for young children! It's called the Social Skills Picture Book. My older children loved it when they were little, and I'm waiting for the library to have it available again for my 4yo. Whether a child has special needs or not, the visual perspective is excellent for helping young children to learn appropriate behavior.

I second the Social Skills Picture Book. Our kids love that one. Super Duper also has a set of cards that display social dilemmas to stimulate discussion. Sometimes we use this with a writing activity, as well, or the kids will do Carol Gray-type cartoons based on the cards.

I have used this book with my child and have found it very worthwhile. The pictures are clear and actually show a child what social behavior should look like. But now my copy is collecting dust. I realize this is not the swap board but if anyone is looking to buy this book my copy is still in brand new condition, it was used gently with my son who is on the spectrum. I'll sell it for $18 (that includes shipping) if anyone is interested. That's below the used price on Amazon.

PM me for more details.

Thanks,
