Skillstreaming is a social-emotional learning program designed to help children and youth learn positive ways to have their needs met.
This guide employs Skillstreaming’s evidence-based four-part training approach—modeling, role-playing, performance feedback, and generalization—to teach prosocial skills in a small-group context. The book includes a total of 80 skills specifically tailored to the needs of learners with high-functioning autism and related disorders.
This staff training DVD features scenes of adolescents participating in group sessions for each of Aggression Replacement Training's three interventions.
