| 25 of 25 people found the following review helpful By This review is from: Social Skills Picture Book for High School and Beyond (Paperback) While I think some of the students who could benefit from this book might find it a bit patronizing and beneath their level of maturity and intelligence (since it depends on pictures so much), there are some really valuable insights to be found for just about everyone with any degree of Asperger's Syndrome. The only improvement I would suggest is that more details on body language reading and face reading be included. For example, when Dr. Baker says to check first whether a potential friend looks receptive, exactly what should one look for in the facial expression and body posture? Dr. Baker gives some details on these things, but I think some Asperger's students might need more specific pointers. 16 of 16 people found the following review helpful By This review is from: Social Skills Picture Book for High School and Beyond (Paperback) Although I haven't purchased this book, I have read a copy that I have borrowed from a library, and I think that it is very helpful.As someone with Asperger's Syndrome myself, I know that if there had been books like this 30 years ago, I would have learned much earlier in life what things are appropriate to do and say in what situation. It's too bad that there were no books like this until very recent years! 6 of 6 people found the following review helpful By Prairie girl (Champaign, IL United States) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Social Skills Picture Book for High School and Beyond (Paperback) I have used this book with my students as a middle school speech pathologist. The pictures are a great resource for the students to visualize the right and wrong way to behave. They enjoy correcting the wrong pictures as part of therapy. An added bonus it that another book of Jed Baker's has worksheets and lessons that directly teach the social skills in the pictures. Truly a great resource for anyone who teaches social skills. |
