Product Description
In 2001, Dr. Baker wrote The Social Skills Picture Book, designed for young children with social communication challenges. Now, in response to the deluge of requests from parents with children in their teens, here is Dr. Baker's long-awaited book, specifically geared toward older students. The Social Skills Picture Book for High School and Beyond offers a visual learning format. Photos of actual students engaging in a wide variety of social situations show, rather than tell, the right (and wrong) ways to interact in different circumstances. They visually illustrate the positive and negative consequences of both ways of interacting. The book also offers instructions for students & families to create their own Social Skills booklets. The social skills address real-life situations that are important to teens, such as: making new friends, interrupting a conversation, asking for help when needed, respecting each other's space, working as part of a group, making mistakes, giving class presentations, asking someone out on a date, doing difficult schoolwork, interviewing for a job, and much, much more! |

Great learning tool! by AustinTXSocialWorker  4 Stars
March 23, 2009
The pictures and clear explanations in this book were great for teaching social skills to my student. The high school focus addressed very relevant topics in an easy to understand way.

Yes, the teens like it. by L. Longhurst (APO, AE United States) 4 Stars
September 08, 2008
This book was recommended to me by a fellow educator. I was skeptical that my High School students would be interested in it, after all, it is a picture book. To my surprise, my high schoolers with autism loved it. It gave us a great medium through which to discuss social skills and it is a format that really works for them. It is not childish or cheesy at all. It includes a variety of social skill issues and topics---it kept us busy for most of the school year. My students with learning disabilities were not as interested in the book itself, but I was able to use the step-by-step descriptions to work on social skills in other ways.

Great resource for social skills by Prairie girl (Champaign, IL United States)  5 Stars
June 19, 2008
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.

A great resource for older students by Paula Kluth (IL) 5 Stars
April 30, 2008
Jed Baker has produced another great resource to help teachers support social growth and development. There are too few resources for those teaching in middle and high school so I was thrilled to see secondary version hit the market(there is an elementary book as well). If you regularly work with students with autism, you need this book.

Important ideas for students and parents affected by Asperger's by Judith M. Wilks (Homewood, IL USA) 5 Stars
September 23, 2007
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.
