Politically Incorrect Look at Evidence-Based Practices and Teaching Social Skills A Literature Review and Discussion - Softcover
Synopsis
The concept of teaching social skills misrepresents the dynamic and complex process at the heart of social skill production. Before we can act socially, we need to be able to think socially. However, the fields related to education and counseling of school-aged students have failed to study the complexity of teaching social learning. Instead, they have applied behavioral teachings in an attempt to tidy up inappropriate behavior without exploring whether, and to what extent, the behavior itself is caused by weak social thinking. Students who are challenged with social thinking and social skills--those diagnosed with autism, Asperger's Syndrome, PDD-NOS, Nonverbal Learning Disorders and others--struggle daily within an education system that is, at present, ill-suited to meet their needs. Our current education of children (both disabled and not) is based on the assumption that all students enter school with basic social thinking abilities in place. And therein do we fail our students before they even arrive at our classrooms. Complicating matters is federal public educational policy (No Child Left Behind), which calls for schools to use evidence-based practices in teaching all students. The reality of today's world is that strategies abound for teaching social thinking and related social skills, and many are resulting in significant gains for our students. "Michelle challenges professionals and caregivers to think more deeply, and practice more consciously, in helping individuals with ASD to acquire and apply social-knowledge in their lives. In building on her seminal work in social thinking, Michelle argues effectively for an important and more thoughtful alternative to behaviorally-based social skill `training' approaches, which are so limited in honoring the complexity of individuals with ASD," Dr. Barry M. Prizant, adjunct professor, Center for the Study of Human Development, Brown University

Paperback. Condition: Good. At the peak of his medical career in St. Martins, Dr. Michael Lankford decided to leave his partner and life-long friend Case McPhail and move to Crosgrove with his wife Jill, to be near their daughter Anna and her husband. There he found the perfect location to set up a practice and begin a journey that would demand every ounce of strength and courage he could muster. The town of Crosgrove welcomed this tall, dark, handsome doctor with open arms, not realizing they were looking at a hero. Michael set forth a plan to become more involved in the well being of his patients. He developed an uncanny ability to read a person quickly and this aided him in the diagnosis of his patients. But it also gave him information that forced him to make decisions he never bargained for. He befriended an old man who was one of his patients, and together they attempted to solve a case that had grown cold and was gathering dust in the local police files. The heartache of one mother who'd lost her child drove Michael to do things he never dreamed he was capable of doing. He found out that truth could set a man free or cause him to squirm, depending on what he was hiding. The events that followed caused Michael and Jill to question their decision to make such a dramatic change in their lives, for the losses they incurred once they moved to Crosgrove tested the boundaries of their marriage and their lives. A tale of courage and an obsession for the truth, this story pushes caution out the window and keeps you on the edge of your seat. But the book will remain with you until you've read the last word.
