Yes, Please Tell Me! cover

Students with autism are often brilliant but struggle to get and keep jobs due to social skill deficits and splinter skills. This book will help students start thinking socially through intentional social skill lessons based on evidence based practice including peer based instruction and intervention. Using peers to teach social skills is an easy way to shift the culture and climate of your entire school building and even district.

Readers will take away ready to use lessons, created using evidence based practices, to help students who struggle with social skills become more socially aware and practice strategies to be successful in school while also applying learned social skills in the real world. ""Yes, Please Tell Me!"": Using the PEERSPECTIVE Learning Approach to Help Preteens Navigate the Social World, uses easy to understand terms with specific examples and then walks the reader through how to implement the model. For service providers who are not able to implement the model in its entirety, there are units and lessons available to target specific social skills. This book can be used as an entire curriculum or as stand alone lessons and ideas. It lends itself to use in a variety of settings, age groups, and severity levels.

“As a professor of teacher education, I appreciate having this textbook to support my pre-service teachers as they learn how to meet the needs of diverse learners in the classroom. The practical instructional strategies identified, along with the meaningful Teacher Talks that provide concrete steps for educators, all backed by evidence-based practices, allow me to confidently provide this resource to rising educators.” —Jennifer T. Christman, Ed.D. Assistant Clinical Professor, University of Dayton
