For easy use, the lessons in each volume follow a uniform format, including titles, behavioral objective, and simple 8-step lesson plan.

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.

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!!!!!!

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!

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.

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.
