Social Skills Training: Which Ones and Where to Do It?

Lovitt, Thomas C.

Journal of Reading, Writing, and Learning Disabilities International, v3 n3 p213-21 1987

Collateral teaching offers an alternative to using commercially prepared social skills programs for learning-disabled students, by enabling teachers to instruct social skills that are required of their students as opportunities arise in normal contexts. Strategies for instructing social skills include coaching, modeling, reinforcement, cognitive behavior modification, and cooperative intervention. (Author/JDD)
