The Social Compass Curriculum: A Story-Based Intervention Package for Students with Autism Spectrum Disorders

Children with autism learn social skills best in group settings where they can practice everyday interactions with peers. Now there’s a highly effective, ready-to-use curriculum educators can use to explicitly teach social skills right in the classroom! Ideal for Grades 4-8 but easily adaptable for use with older children, this social skills intervention curriculum gives educators 24 lessons that help students with autism make progress in areas critical to social success. Each step-by-step lesson gives students a social story that models a key skill; worksheets that reinforce takeaway points; a simple, memorable icon that helps them remember what to do; opportunities to role-play and rehearse the skill; and take-home worksheets to ensure generalisation in settings outside of school.
