One of the best things about having a podcast like this is to learn from people who know a lot about things that I don't. Today's episode is no exception.
Ashley Rose joins me today to discuss best practices for teaching social skills. Here is a snippet from her bio:
Ashley is owner/director of Mission Cognition, Social Skills Development Center. Mission Cognition is a behavior analytic social skills program serving individuals ages 3 and up, with and without a diagnosis who are in need of systematic and explicit play and social skills instruction. Ashley has worked in the field of ABA and special education for 15 years with the last 5 years almost exclusively devoted to social skills instruction. In her free time she admins the ABA Skill Share facebook group.

I was hoping to find links to all the books she mentioned!
What’s up Freddie? I put as many links as I thought we talked about but if there’s something I missed, let me know.
Thanks for the reply. She listed several books. I think I’ll just listen again and write them down. 🙂
Hi Freddie,
Thanks so much for listening! Matt, thanks so much for listing the resources! Freddie may be referring to The Science of Making Friends (Dr. Elizabeth Laugeson), Skill Streaming and/or Building Social Relationships (Dr. Scott Bellini). Don’t recall if I mentioned Socially Savvy, but you may want to take a look at that as well. TRIAD out of Vanderbilt & Social Skills Checklist (Project Data: University of WA) were mentioned as well I believe. Hope that helps!
