Students with hearing loss all too often have deficits in how appropriately they communicate with others. It is typical for them to have pragmatic language delays that impact social interactions, sometimes in a subtle manner. Here is a developmental, evidence-based program for social language skills. This program is based on the results of the Social Language Development Test Adolescent, research, and practical experience. Students learn to recognize, understand, and successfully deal with positive and negative social situations. Units of the book are arranged in order of general skill complexity and development. Students focus on specific social language skills while using the activity sheets for discussion; sharing related personal experiences; and scripting, if necessary. Scene illustrations segue into role-playing. The need for writing is minimal.Specific skills addressed include:
-
Nonverbal Communication
- identify and interpret facial expressions, gestures, posture, proximity, and wordless vocalizations (hmmm, ah-ha, duh, etc.) in isolation and together
- pay attention to relevant details and ignore irrelevant ones
- use context, body language, and other clues to make reasonable inferences about what is happening and why
- recognize the feelings of others as a priority when solving problems
- thinking of solutions that preserve and/or create friendships
- think of more than one logical interpretation for a situation
- develop flexibility in thinking and consider the logical possibilities
- learn to pay attention to body language, facial expressions, vocal intonation (when possible), and the expressive language of their peers, acquaintances, family members, strangers, and authority figures
- learn to recognize appropriate and inappropriate reactions to these people and what to say and do
- handle difficult social situations appropriately
- support friends and preserve friendships
- Understand the key factors in evaluating others’ perspectives
- recognize that people in the same situation can think different thoughts and have different opinions
