| Summary |
Social skills are necessary for everyday living. They enable us to express our needs and wants, agreement or disagreement, and to ask for help when we need it. Individuals with a disability often do not learn these skills adequately - and so become isolated from the world and the people around them. Everyday Social Interaction provides vital information on how to teach these interactive skills. Component skills and routines are clearly identified and helpful training strategies are suggested. The second edition of this highly successful book (previously titled Communicating Everyday) has been extensively revised, expanded and updated. A new chapter covering the important area of making and keeping friends is included, as are various checklists and task analyses which show how complex skills can be broken down into major components for easy monitoring of performance |
