Project Description:
The Social Skills Project utilizes a school-wide approach to teaching social skills to students with Autism Spectrum Disorders, Asperger Syndrome, ADHD, and other related social skills needs. Intensive professional development and consultation is provided to group facilitators, as well as professional development for the student's classroom teachers os that everyone is using the same vocabulary and skills can be reinforced in the classroom. Parent workshops are also offered to the parents of students participating in social skills groups, as well as other families who are interested in supporting their child's social skills at home. The project is also conducting an evaluation to determine if participation in social skills groups leads to an increase in social interactions.
