The comic book teaches these students how to recognize and develop social skills. Every one of us is a Social Detective. We are good Social Detectives when we use our eyes, ears, and brains to figure out what others are planning to do next or are presently doing and what they mean by their words and deeds. Enjoy watching your students and own children blossom day-by-day into successful Social Detectives! Elementary school-aged (K-5) students, and immature older middle and high school students who enjoy visual books, will benefit from this book. But this isnt just a book for students who have challenges relating to autism spectrum disorders, Aspergers, ADHD and like challenges. The lessons also offer a variety of engaging ways to introduce the concepts of social thinking to general education teachers, paraprofessionals, parents, caregivers, special educators, grandparents, siblings, daycare workers, scout leaders, etc.
