DESCRIPTION:
"This book fills a gap of other popular assessment/curriculum guides" according to Cindiana Jones. This book fills a gap of other popular assessment/curriculum guides for intensive ABA programs. I will be making lots of use of it when writing social goals for young children!. Great Investment for Teachers & Parents!

This book provides a plethora of wonderful activities that can easily . "Perfect tool for Public School" according to Jill Hughes. I've been waiting for a tool like this to come out for several years now! This book has a wonderful assessment with very appropriate objectives for little ones. The curriculum guide is very user friendly & easy to read for a variety of audiences-from BCBA's to teachers to parents. The content is very useful & actually lays out every aspect of a social skills group. I'm really excited to start using this in my preschool. Hoping the authors will create a second one for older kiddos!
