The Hard Truth About Soft Skills: Workplace Lessons Smart People Wish They'd Learned Sooner 13 reviews
Peggy Klaus
Collins, 2008
Exactly what the title says
This book is spot on about being the "hard truth" about soft skills. We can often get caught up in what we think is "fair", what companies "should" do and how people "should" behave and all of those things are honestly irrelevant. It is not until people are ready to face the hard truths that they are able to make decisions about their willingness to make changes to their work styles that will ...

The Social Skills Picture Book Teaching play, emotion, and communication to children with autism27 reviews
Jed Baker
Future Horizons, 2003
NOT ONLY FOR THE AUTISTIC CHILD BUT FOR ALL WHO ENTER INTO RELATIONSHIPS IN THE CLASSROOM AND OUR WORLD
This book is designed to discuss with the autistic student effective interpersonal relationships in the classroom environment, with peers, teachers, etc. Nevertheless, I find it works very well with all students, and anyone who must work with human beings on a regular basis in our increasingly alienating society. This work in fact can serve as a portal to ethical and moral theology!
Often in ...

Executive Skills in Children and Adolescents: A Practical Guide to Assessment and Intervention (Practical ...8 reviews
Peg Dawson, Richard Guare
The Guilford Press, 2003
Executive Skills
It is very difficult to find information on Exective Skills which is easy enough for the average reader. This book is such a book - not a textbook and designed for school personnel in addition to parents. It is not extremely clinical which makes it easy to follow.

Great for use with autistic children as well as kindergarteners
This book has worked well with a small group of 8 CC children. If you need to do pre and post tests for acountability, there is a GREAT face scale that can easily be colored for pre-writers. Activities are well laid out and most are kept to a page, so you don't have to flip back and forth. I am very glad to found this book, I can tell already that it is going to get a lot of use.
