Product Description
Product Description
Children and young people with diagnoses such as high-functioning autism, Asperger syndrome, PDD-NOS or non-verbal learning disabilities often have difficulty with "social-cognition" -communicating effectively and solving personal problems. For such students, these are skills that cannot just be absorbed from experience but need to be taught. In this manual, Michelle Garcia Winner offers teaching techniques to help students identify and overcome their weaknesses, leading to the acquisition of skills such as initiating conversations or activities; listening and attending; understanding abstract language; taking others' perspectives; seeing the big picture; and using humour. She demonstrates how to break down these skills into manageable concepts and suggests methods of teaching them so that the student can truly understand not just what to do but also why. The volume contains many photocopiable worksheets for teachers' use, and should be useful to educators and therapists working with young people with social-cognitive deficits.
About the Author
Michelle Garcia Winner is a speech and language pathologist and works for her local school district, assessing and helping children with social-cognitive deficits. She has previously worked for the Indiana Resource Center for Autism and in medically based neuro-rehabilitation.
