Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Social Skills I am a mental health therapist who works with adolescents with a variety of mental health needs, primarily deficient in how to perform socially with others and within community, school, etc. This book offers a simple interactive approach that reaches children/adolescents by incorporating a learning component and an interactive component. So far the social skills group I facilitate has enjoyed the use of each lessons in this book. Rating: - group facilitator This book is great teenagers in a group setting. It provided a lot of reproductable activites which identify the needs of the children. The material was easy for the children to read and comphend. This was a great investment!!!!!! Rating: - quick and easy! I love all of the ready to use social skill books. I am a school social worker for prek-8 school district, so as busy as I am, I love that these activities are right there with little preparation! My only complaint is that these books used to be spiral-bound which makes it easier to photocopy activities. They are not spiral-bound anymore, but either way great purchase for school social workers and counselors! Rating: - Good book for use with teachers. This book contains lesson formating and steps to follow when teaching. Some of the lessons would be better tailored for a small to medium sized group. Many of the lessons include a story to use to teach the students the social lesson. Rating: - not sure about carryover this is an old-time structured lesson set, with slogans and (I thnk) dumb activities and artwork. I don't find it very helpful, especially for individual work. I can't imagine it does much more than nominally meet some requirement for addressing social skills for a whole-class presentation. You get what you pay for. see more
