**Making Social Inferences (Spotlight on<br />

Social Skills Adolescent)<br />

LoGiudice, Carolyn / Johnson, Paul F. 564 .334 LOG<br />

Adolescents who have not acquired appropriate social skills on their own are unlikely to develop them <strong>with</strong>out<br />

specific instruction. Targeted language intervention <strong>with</strong> at-risk students may result in more cautionary, socially<br />

acceptable behaviors (Moore-Brown et al., 2002). Intervention for adolescents <strong>with</strong> language impairments may<br />

include objectives aimed at improving deficient social communication skills (Henry et al., 1995; Bliss, 1992).<br />

Outcomes<br />

Detect <strong>and</strong> interpret others’ perspectives correctly<br />

Increase success in social communication <strong>and</strong> social interactions<br />

Boost self-esteem by learning how to control social interactions<br />

Learn to control <strong>and</strong> participate in social interactions appropriately<br />

Making Social Inferences teaches these important skills:<br />

Discriminate an inference from a guess<br />

Make inferences about locations, occupations, <strong>and</strong> actions<br />

Infer from body language<br />

Determine what to say/do in public <strong>and</strong> private settings<br />

Make decisions <strong>and</strong> underst<strong>and</strong> how decisions affect others<br />

Consider <strong>and</strong> apply social status in communication<br />

Infer from information known about the person, place, <strong>and</strong> message<br />

Underst<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> appropriately use teasing<br />

Make appropriate social comments<br />

Interpret indirect requests<br />

Judge <strong>and</strong> underst<strong>and</strong> consequences<br />

Hats off! Applause, applause! Adolescents will “take a bow” as they master specific social skill areas by<br />

underst<strong>and</strong>ing different social perspectives. Personalized instruction targets social communication <strong>and</strong> behavior<br />

skills that help students apply what they learn to real-world situations. Instruction methods include explicit<br />

teaching, modeling, observation, discussion, role-playing, <strong>and</strong> guided practice. A pretest/posttest is included. Use<br />

each activity <strong>with</strong> individual students or small groups of students <strong>with</strong> similar skill deficits.<br />

**Making Social Inferences (Spotlight on LoGiudice, Carolyn / Johnson, Paul F. 517 .515 LOG<br />

Social Skills Elementary)<br />

The activity sheets offer many opportunities to explain <strong>and</strong> discuss the clues that lead to logical inferences,<br />

making social expectations <strong>and</strong> behaviors explicit for those who do not abstract the dynamics of social<br />

relationships <strong>with</strong>out direct explanations <strong>and</strong> examples. The activities include direct instruction, observation,<br />

role-playing, modeling, discussion, <strong>and</strong> other guided practice in contexts of everyday interaction. The<br />

highly-motivating activity pages are filled <strong>with</strong> graphic organizers <strong>and</strong> interesting photos <strong>and</strong> art. The lessons can<br />

be presented to individual students or small groups of students. A pretest/posttest <strong>and</strong> a progress checklist are<br />

included.<br />

Outcomes<br />

Develop age-appropriate social language <strong>and</strong> interaction skills<br />

Improve self-esteem <strong>and</strong> learn to make friends<br />

Interact successfully in the classroom<br />

Underst<strong>and</strong> peers' perspectives<br />
