Yes, social skills should be worked on at school. If he doesn’t have the roots, he cannot do the other things. Does the child have that skill? Then why are they being told to do something? Match up each goal (that you are considering) to a tree root. When you look at the social skills below, look at the roots of the tree. But that takes a long time, so until we get there, these are the skills that kids need in order to be successful socially.” Why is it always the disabled kids’ fault that they have no friends? Why don’t we teach others to work harder at being friends with people who are different from us? Disabled kids already have enough on their plate. I have a real problem with society not accepting our kids. When I first published this post, I felt uncomfortable with it. Yesterday I attended a presentation from Tara of 2 B Social. Social Skills Goals is something we should all be working on. My point being, all kids and even adults, struggle with social skills at some point in our lives. Even still, students with autism get really pigeon-holed or stigmatized into the “lacks social skills” corner. Regardless of disability, all kids can have some struggles with social skills. It may be as simple as a social story about making friends. Moms, stick with your gut instincts and keep advocating.

Have you ever gotten into the rut of using the same questions over and over again that you can think of off the top of your head? It can be tricky to provide more insightful conversation starters for your students to answer – especially the older ones!
