The Social Skills Picture Book: Teaching Play, Emotion, and Communication to Children with Autism

Useful resource to teach social skills.

I love that this book give practical situational guidance into many aspects of the social realm in easy to understand words and pictures. It is straight forward and has a great section in the beginning of the book explaining to the parent how best use this resource. My son is high functioning and doesn't have as many social issues as some so I thought this book might not apply to him. What I am finding is that he appreciates the whole book, it boosts his confidence in the skills he already possess and adds guidance to those areas where he struggles. I think this book would apply to a broad spectrum of children, not only those on the Autism Spectrum but also those with social anxiety or who are terribly shy. Knowledge is power, and the social aspect of our society is full of rules...having a resource to help kids understand those rules is invaluable.

A little outdated in terms of the language used but still a good guide for doing your own social stories

great book for autism!
