Evaluation comments:
“This book includes 80 social situation maps (more like charts) that cover 40 typical daily situations that happen in the community, at school and at home.”
“The maps cover behaviors that are expected and behaviors that are unexpected. It lays out what the behaviors are, how others around them may feel or think, reactions from others and what the person doing the behavior might feel or think.”
“This book is about helping students learn how to act in various situations. Explains to the teacher, therapist, or caregiver how to use the book. There are blank spaces on each map for students to add their own thoughts, strategies, or ideas.”
“I like the organization of the book and the wide variety of situations that are discussed- riding in the car with family, riding on a public bus with strangers, eating in the school cafeteria with peers, using the bathroom at school, safety online and on social media are just a few examples.”
“There is a blank map that can be copied and used as often as needed. The user can go back and look at the maps and their input and use it to continue to meet their social goals.”
“This is good for teachers, parents, therapists, or anyone supporting a student.”
