My! What a wonderful and informative book to have in a world where there is such a high prevalence of autism! Not only does this book provide appropriate and realistic lesson plans and skill steps, but it can be used in individual therapy. Children with autism struggle so much in every day situations. This book guides the therapists and the parents to help make that struggle easier.

I teach a class for young preteens with social skill difficulties. This book, along with the one for children ages 9-13, has been an excellent and helpful manual in implementing appropriate lessons for the group. As we all know, preteens are usually hard to motivate, however these manuals provide interesting and fresh activitieis to motivate children and to help them learn abstract social concepts. The manuals are also very easy to read, organized, and practical. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is working with children with social skill difficulties.

It’s chalked full of lessons and activities that are easy to teach children and easy for children to learn and understand. The kids increase their social skills while having fun during the process!
I highly recommend this book for anyone who has an autistic child or knows of anyone dealing with autism. Thank you!

I recently purchased this book to assist with planning lessons for my young pragmatic language group. What a fantastic buy! I’m able to use the outlines in the book to plan fun, creative weekly lessons for my clients and the book is filled with interesting activities, which is definitely a major time saver. I would recommend this book to all speech-language pathologists working with children and targeting pragmatic goals. It’s a great resource to add to your collection!
