As an educational consultant (and the mother of a child with autism), this is the book that I refer other parents to when they are looking for a good resource to teach social skills. If you don't know where to start with social skills, start here. You won't be disappointed!

Social Skills Solutions is a one of the best books on the subject of social skills training. All therapists should read this book and incorporate it into their therapies.

Social Skills Solutions is a must have for any parent who is teaching their child the valuable social skills. The book is well written, easy to read and has great ideas for activities. The checklist is very helpful in determining what areas need work and the Module System really helps me to go step by step in teaching social skills.

Kelly McKinnon is a renound expert on Social Skills Solutions and I am so glad she wrote this book to help us all understand how she does it! She breaks new ground in her work with children on the Autism Spectrum because of her dedication and innovation. I would recommend this book to anyone who works with children on the Autism Spectrum or has a child who struggles socially.

The book has an assessment peice, lots of ideas for programming, a program sheet example and lots of worksheets in the appendix. Great for someone who has some experience writing programs and needs additional ideas and stimuli to work with.

I've been working as a Para-educator for autistic kids for 2 years and been looking for a book like this for awhile. This is really a hands-on manual that instead of just having ideas it has a plan. I love the appendix that has the worksheet and visual aid ideas. This book uses the ABA approach and breaks everything down into modules so you are not trying to work on too many problems at once.

I have shown this to many people at work and they all love it. This will be a book I always recommend. Even though I am not a social worker or psychologist this is a book they should own too!
