Social skills are critical to students’ well-being. These skills help optimize classroom learning and school safety for students with disabilities, including students diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The TeachTown Social Skills curriculum for secondary school students provides a solution that helps bring focus on building positive relationships with peers and adults. Integrated throughout each volume of TeachTown Social Skills are themes that help students build confidence, make good decisions, and become successful students — all of which contribute to creating a safe and secure school environment.
This is an assessment that students can work on independently, prior to engaging in the social skills curriculum for secondary school students. Students view a short video clip and are then asked to answer inferential questions to assess their understanding of the target social skills. The data from the screener helps teachers identify the domains and specific skills within the curriculum to target for intervention.
