The F.I.L.T.E.R. Approach: Social Communication Skills for Students With Autism Spectrum Disoders

Inhaltsangabe

"Stephanie Sanders created this curriculum after verbal attempts to teach the concept of using a 'social filter' to students with high-functioning autism. Saying a person 'has no filter' is a common expression for a socially inappropriate or abrasive person. However, the connection between a literal and figurative filter makes little sense to high-functioning ASD students. Research and experience confirm the rote memory skills of children with high-functioning ASD and this workbook capitalizes on this toprovide a simple, yet memorable tool for conversation. The F.I.L.T.E.R. curriculum first teaches the literal versus figurative filter concept and then presents an acronym for connecting the concept to social skills to help students before, during, and after conversation. F - Facial clues: look for information about how someone is feeling ; I - Inappropriate: avoid "red light" comments and topics ; L - Listen: tune in to the person talking and tune out distractions ; T - Target: are you hitting or missingthe target in conversation? ; E - End the conversation (and start it) at the right time; R - Repair mistakes made in conversation." --
