  Drawing on her work at the Yale Child Study Center, Koenig explains how critical it is for kids to not simply learn new social skills that fit their individual needs, but to be able to integrate them into a range of day-to-day situations, from the classroom to the lunchroom to the dinner table at home. Presents specific techniques-visual strategies and supports, scripts and role play, developmental play approaches, video modeling, peer mediated approaches, technology-based instruction, group instruction, self-monitoring strategies, parent-delivered intervention, and more. Case vignettes illustrate how each intervention can be implemented, and what trouble-shooting techniques can be used when a child isn't responding well. Provides advice on how parents and professionals can work together as a team, how to help kids generalize their newly learned skills across contexts, and how to measure progress in a sensible way.
