I would recommend this workbook to parents or practitioners who work with Asperger's and/or learning disabled teens. It's interesting to them as they do want to improve their social lives. It has over 30 short "lessons" that you can give as therapeutic "homework" or parents can help their teen complete over the summer. Both patients I have used this workbook with so far have actually enjoyed it (a 15 year-old and an 18 year-old, both males).

I bought this book (as well as the Anxiety Workbook for Teens) to utilize with a teen girls support group I am currently leading. This, like the other book, was packed with useful ideas, questions, activities, suggestions, handouts, and more. It's a great resource for a school or mental health professional to have on the shelf and refer to or make copies from to talk through with teens. Again, this is a book best used in a setting where these can be talked through, as opposed to just filled out personally. It covers a pretty broad range of topics but is very straightforward. I found myself picking and choosing different exercises to meet the needs of my certain group members. There could be more mention about the internet-side of social networking, because more and more teens are wrapped up in that. But there's room for that in discussion.
Overall, I think it's a great resource!

Thanks so much,

My son has high functioning autism .This workbook is age appropriate for High schoolers. He can do it on his own and it helps him keep up with his social skills he learns in school while he is on summer vacation. I would recommend this to anyone who needs help in social situations.There are a lot of books like this for elementary and middle school,but this is one of the few I have seen for teenagers.

I bought several of these workbooks and they are great. It is really based on the Cognitive behavioral therapy and I use it with my middle school and high school students.

I will enjoy using this book with my elementary and middle school students. I think it would even work with high school students. Easy to modify for any age group1

I have a teen daughter with Aspergers Syndrom. When I ordered this item I was apprehensive as to how she would react.

She LOVED it!!
She got started right away at reading and working in the workbook. We showed it to her therapist and her special team at school and all of them were very enthuastic. I ordered more books from this series to help work through my daughters issues at her request. I think this will be a very possitive activity for her and hopefully give her a better understanding of how to handel her special challenges.

I teach a moderate level self-contained high school class. This book has been a wonderful resource for us! We work on 3 social skill chapters a week. The introductory stories are simple & very relevant. The lessons are easily modified to meet the levels of each student. I've been thrilled with this book & highly recommend it to other teachers!

This workbook can be highly recommended to anyone who has to deal with those who have a non-verbal learning disorder.
