Decodes the often confusing rules of social behavior for all
children
Socially ADDept helps educators and parents teach the
hidden rules of social behavior to children with limited social
skills, notably those with special needs like ADHD, learning
disabilities, Asperger’s and high-functioning autism, Tourette
Syndrome, and nonverbal learning disabilities. The author provides
all the information parents and professionals need to know to help
kids learn social skills in simple, concise explanations. The book
is divided into eight sections that educators can use as teaching
units or parents can work through one week (or month) at a
time.
* Includes a way for children to see themselves and how their
behavior looks to others
* Deciphers the complex rules of nonverbal language into
friendly, bite-sized morsels that kids can understand
* Offers a field-tested collection of suggestions and strategies
for parents and professionals who want to enhance a child’s social
competence
Socially ADDept is presented in a hands-on workbook
format, complete with reproducible student worksheets that are also
available for free download from the publisher web site.
