A must-have resource to teach perspective-taking skills to individuals with social cognitive deficit

According to the author, social cognitive learning disability is the most abstract of all learning disabilities, making it difficult for professionals to assess through standardized measures. Students with social cognitive deficits may be diagnosed with disorders ranging from Asperger Syndrome (AS) to attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). In this guide, the author focuses on the student's ability to understand the perspective of others, which is critical for establishing successful interpersonal relationships. This handbook contains numerous therapeutic activities to help students understand and develop perspective-taking skills, and it also describes the impact of language and behavior on social thinking. The book offers strategies to help students and teachers understand the Individualized Education Program (IEP), and it also provides sample IEP goals and benchmarks.
