      abstract = {"Difficulties with social skills are among the biggest  challenges for children with autism. This landmark,  research-based essay collection is an overview of the best  practices for teaching social skills to people with autism.  Well known professionals describe what works best for  learners with autism: parent training to increase their  toddler's engagement & play; combining approaches in small  group settings with typically developing peers; targeting  core deficits of autism with Pivotal Response Treatment;  using conversational scripts, video modeling, and  peer-mediated interventions; employing naturalistic  teaching strategies. Behavior analysts, teachers, early  interventionists, SLPs, graduate students, and anyone who  instructs other professionals how to teach children with  autism can consult this book to find tried-and-true  approaches to teaching social skills. Parents, too, may  wish to consult this book if they are seeking a more  effective approach to helping their child master social  skills." -- Publisher's description.},
