[QUOTE="pigless in VA, post: 679096, member: 11832"] I've been working as a one-on-one aide to a boy with autism. I am fortunate in that I get to participate when the teachers work with the students on social skills. I am blown away by how useful, thoughtful, and detailed the lessons are. For example, before Christmas break, they all participated in a mock family dinner. They were required to use good manners, make conversation, and politely refuse a disagreeable food (asparagus, I think). Personally, I think all school kids would benefit from these practical lessons. The teachers with whom I work, all keep repeating the lessons throughout the day. The kids are frequently asked what their behavior should look like, not simply reprimanded for poor behaviors. For the most part, the kids know what they are supposed to do. I think in some ways they will be better prepared than some of their general education peers, especially those who are disrespectful. [/QUOTE]
