Description

Two nationally known experts in friendship formation and anxiety management address the
social challenges faced by adolescents with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). The book
helps educators instruct youth on conversing with others, displaying appropriate body
language, managing anxiety, initiating and participating in get-togethers, and more.
The book is filled with helpful information on ASD to aid teachers who have received
little training on the topic. Extremely practical, the book includes lesson plans,
checklists, and sidebars with helpful advice.

Based on UCLA's acclaimed PEERS program, the only evidence-based approach to teaching
social skills to adolescents with ASD
Contains best practices for working with parents, which is the key to helping kids
learn social skills
The authors discuss the pros and cons of teaching students with ASD in educational
settings like full inclusion (good for academics but bad for social skills) and pull-out
special day classes (where the reverse is true)
Provides a much-needed book for teachers at all levels for helping students develop the
skills they need to be successful.
