Social Skills Group activities?

GooseBay

Hi- I am a guidance counsellor at the local high school (Grades 8-12) and would like to start a weekly group for students living with autism to fit in better socially. This is at the request of a couple of parents. I am thinking role plays for various scenarios whereby I do something wrong or inapropriate and they tell me what it is and how to do it better. Any ideas? Lesson plans? etc.

Thanks,

Valerie

    all i know is that i hate role play.

    Personally, I don't think hate is a strong enough word for my feelings about this. Role play training always made me so uncomfortable and I never felt as though I got anything out of it. My guess is that you probably need to be good at eye contact and all of the other things that we struggle with before you can get something out of role play.

    Having said all that, I am struggling with working out how else to train myself to be better in job interviews.
