Autism: Attacking Social Interaction Problems: a Therapy Manual Targeting Social Skills in Teens

The Attacking Social Interaction Problems (AASIP) is designed specifically for individuals 13-16 years of age and includes ten chapters with three lessons in each chapter. The lessons included were selected by the authors who have more than twenty-five years of experience working with individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Topics were suggested by teens with ASD and their parents. The lessons are filled with fun and age-appropriate activities that incorporate current issues facing teens today such as peer pressure, joining in, honesty, self-esteem, dealing with bullies, and social media. The activities utilize games, worksheets, role-play skits and discussion questions, and can be used in social skills groups.

The AASIP program provides a comprehensive yet practical approach to teaching social communication skills across the life span to individuals with moderate to high functioning autism spectrum disorder and other disorders that result in social communication deficits. Participants will enjoy engaging with their peers as they learn how to become social communicators and build their confidence.

The AASIP program offers three additional books for children ages 4-9, 10-12, and a pre-vocational training manual for individuals 17 years to adulthood.
