Description

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 Elementary, 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:Interpretation of facial expressions, gestures, and nonverbal language
