This comprehensive five-step model addresses the need for social programming for children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorders by helping children identify the skills they need to form relationships and an intervention plan to help them acquire these skills. Instead of offering a single strategy, this book organizes the myriad social skills strategies and resources currently available to make it easier for parents and educational professionals to teach social skills and design social skills programs for children with ASD.

A must have for clinicians, educators and parents,
This review is from: Building Social Relationships: A Systematic Approach to Teaching Social Interaction Skills to Children and Adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorders and Other Social Difficulties (Paperback)
This was an enjoyable read and an extremely insightful publication. It is the most comprehensive book available for teaching social skills to children and adolescents on the autism spectrum. The book contains over 30 social skill strategies that can be implemented by educators, clinicians, and parents in variety of settings. The author also provides detailed information on how to assess social functioning and evaluate outcomes. A social skill checklist is included that is helpful in identifying specific social skill deficits and in developing social objectives. Perhaps most impressive, the author translates a complex conceptual framework into an understandable and useful social skills training model. This book gets my highest recommendation.

An excellent book for teachers, school psychologists, and parents,

This review is from: Building Social Relationships: A Systematic Approach to Teaching Social Interaction Skills to Children and Adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorders and Other Social Difficulties (Paperback)
As a professor of educational psychology, I have looked for a way of showing my students (at Central Michigan University) how to work with children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. As the rate of those identified climbs, it is an almost certainty that general education teachers will have several students in their classes with ASD, and this book is a practical way of giving them the tools they need to understand a very effective method of working with those children to acquire the tools to interact with more typical students and in the social situations of everyday life. This book is written clearly, in an authoratative but user-friendly voice, and a plethora of resources are available not only to special ed. teachers, but to all stakeholders. Dr. Bellini has done the education community a major service, and this book is a terrific tool to bring understanding to what can be a challenging situation. I cannot recommend this book more highly.

I can't say enough good things about this book!,
By Rebekah Heinrichs (Paris, KY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Building Social Relationships: A Systematic Approach to Teaching Social Interaction Skills to Children and Adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorders and Other Social Difficulties (Paperback)
This is the best book I have read and used on the topic of teaching social interaction skills. Dr. Bellini speaks from an incredible depth of experience and provides more than enough information for teachers and parents to follow through with the strategies. "Building Social Relationships" definitely should be read by anyone who wants to positively impact the life of a child who struggles in the social arena. Children diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder and many others who struggle with social skills deficits and impaired social cognition can benefit from his approaches. I can't recommend this book highly enough!
