**Social Skills Lessons: Health & Hygiene<br />

(Autism & PDD)<br />

Reese, Pam Britton. / Challenner, Nena 500 .449<br />

Help students learn about their bodies <strong>and</strong> prepare for a healthy life <strong>with</strong> lessons in this book from the Autism &<br />

PDD: Adolescent Social Skills series.<br />

Benefits<br />

* Improves health <strong>and</strong> hygiene habits in your students <strong>with</strong> autism<br />

* Helps facilitate inclusion of students <strong>with</strong> autism into regular classrooms<br />

* Gives adolescents confidence in their increasingly complex world<br />

Features<br />

* Targets typical health <strong>and</strong> hygiene needs that students <strong>with</strong> autism need help <strong>with</strong><br />

* Provides a short, one-page rebus story for each lesson<br />

* Contains lessons for working one-on-one <strong>with</strong> the student as well as lessons for group work<br />

* Includes charts <strong>and</strong> forms to track progress<br />

Adolescence brings many dramatic physical <strong>and</strong> emotional changes. Some of the lessons in Health & Hygiene<br />

teach adolescents about their changing bodies <strong>and</strong> help prepare them for independent self-care (e.g., Wearing<br />

Bras). Other lessons teach health habits (e.g., Smoking) <strong>and</strong> making important decisions for a healthy life (e.g.,<br />

The Checkup).<br />

Some of the lessons included are:<br />

* Overeating<br />

* Washing H<strong>and</strong>s<br />

* Scabs<br />

* A Cavity<br />

* Immunizations<br />

* Wearing Bras<br />

* My Changing Body (boys)<br />

* Acne<br />

* Brushing Teeth<br />

* Wearing Different Clothes<br />

This book has two types of lessons: instructional <strong>and</strong> behavioral. The instructional lessons are intended to teach<br />

adolescents what they need to do or say in social situations that are sometimes overwhelming (e.g., What Can I<br />

Do about Acne?). Use these instructional lessons as part of a social skills curriculum <strong>with</strong> small groups. The<br />

behavioral lessons target specific social problems that need to be stopped (e.g., Overeating). Use these lessons<br />

<strong>with</strong> an individual.<br />

Each one-page rebus story keeps students focused on learning <strong>and</strong> practicing a specific social skill related to<br />

health <strong>and</strong> hygiene. You choose the order in which to present these non-sequential lessons. Then document<br />

progress <strong>with</strong> The Record of Progress <strong>and</strong> tracking forms.<br />
