Darlene Mannix 
Social Skills Activities for Special Children 

A flexible, ready-to-use program to help special students in grades
K-5 learn appropriate ways to behave among others

The revised and updated second edition of this bestselling resource
book provides ready-to-use lessons–complete with reproducible
worksheets–to help children become aware of acceptable social
behavior and develop proficiency in acquiring basic social skills.
The book is organized around three core areas crucial to social
development in the primary grades: Accepting Rules and Authority at
School, Relating to Peers, and Developing Positive Social Skills.
Each lesson places a specific skill within the context of real-life
situations, giving teachers a means to guide students to think
about why the social skill is important. The hands-on activity that
accompanies each lesson helps students to work through, think
about, discuss, and practice the skill in or outside of the
classroom.
