Special Education Social Skills PowerPoints

PowerPoints on Social Skills in Special Education

PowerPoints on social skills in special education were developed in response to current social research in the field of autism spectrum disorders, the difficulties these students experience with writing skills, the need for curriculum for students at the middle and high school level, and decreased planning time afforded to special education educators. In addition, staff at Watson Institute - including consultants, social workers, psychologists, and special education teachers - shared their observations from years of work in the field and research settings to determine a medium that would meet the needs they viewed as important to students with social challenges.
