Skillstreaming is a prosocial learning program designed to help children and youth learn positive ways to have their needs met. This guide employs Skillstreaming’s evidence-based four-part training approach—modelling, role-playing, performance feedback, and generalisation—to teach prosocial skills in a small-group context.
What's Included:
The book includes a total of 80 skills specifically tailored to the needs of learners with high-functioning autism and related disorders.
The introduction offers a framework for understanding high-functioning autism disorders, defines unique characteristics of this population, and emphasises the role of individualised coaching and the assistance of supportive peers in helping these learners meet their unique challenges. The remainder of the book presents skills and related materials.
Convenient 3×5″ cue cards designed for student use during group sessions and homework assignments. The cards list the behavioural steps for each of the 80 skills contained in the Skillstreaming Children and Youth with High Functioning Autism skills. Six cards are provided for each individual skill, for a total of 480 skill cards.
The Student Workbook (and accompanying Group Leader’s Guide) is intended to transfer Skillstreaming learning procedures into easily implemented activities and strategies. These resources give educators, clinicians, and school counsellors a step-by-step procedure for introducing and proceeding with the Skillstreaming program. Before using the workbook, it is also necessary to prepare the skill posters and handouts as well as any other common classroom materials for the specific lesson in the workbook that will be taught. Each packet contains 10 Student Workbooks and 1 Group Leader’s Guide.
A set of 80 posters (12×18″) displaying the behavioural steps in each of the skills in the Skillstreaming Children and Youth with High-Functioning Autism program. A great tool for reinforcing the skills they’re learning!
