Visual Techniques for Developing Social Skills

Author(s): Rebecca Moyes

Social skills instruction for K-8th grade children on the autism spectrum requires an emphasis on visuals, or “show-teaching” techniques, rather than language based instruction. This book fulfills that need, consisting of easy-to-use step-by-step lesson plans with a wealth of visual tools and aids for teaching children with high-functioning autism and Asperger’s Syndrome. These K-8 lesson plans, featuring explicit IEP goals, can be incorporated into both General Education and Special Education classrooms and offer both individual and small-group instruction.

Rebecca Moyes, M.Ed. is a teacher, lecturer, and mother of a child with Asperger’s Syndrome. She is the author of Sensory World’s Building Sensory Friendly Classrooms to Support Children with Challenging Behaviors, published in 2010.
