  I hope I can use some of these strategies and other resources for my students. I want them to interact more and improve their social skills.

  Allie, I find that my ASD students benefit greatly from immediate feedback regarding appropriate and inappropriate behaviors. If spoken to plainly, honestly and directly about misinterpreted or new correctly interpreted cues of others the outcomes are positive for all concerned. The spontaneous teaching moments.

  I will always correct students when proper etiquette is not used or if they omit something from their interaction with someone. I will remind them of each other's personal space, maintaining eye contact, etc. If these types of skills are lacking at home and gentle reminders at school may be all that they are getting as far as learning social skills then I can take a few minutes out of the tech curriculum to do that.

  These skills are essential, and they should be taught and retaught at the Elementary level. As I firmly believe...it takes a village to raise a child.

Strategies for teaching social skills
- Moira Joyce on 05 Nov 13
  
  I find myself spending a great deal of time teaching manners, social skills, and etiquette with all students, k-5. We have an organization in our town called "Change in Action." They send us 4-5 books a year that focus on teaching manners and tolerance. These books have been a great resource for social skills.

  Many times students come in from recess/lunch with a problem. Most situations for me it has been the same student or students. He/She is missing out on interactions and in turn may perceive things as someone is talking about him/her or making fun of him/her. Constant teacher reminders about social skills as well as Second Step has been a way of helping these students. Parents also need to be involved and carry the load in helping out their child.

When students miss out on the numerous social opportunities present in a typical classroom they are missing out on opportunities for academic enrichment (collaborating on projects, working in pairs, participating in class discussions) as well as personal and social enrichment (making new friends, playing games).
