How to Choose the Right Social Skill Builder Tool
Social Skill Builder software targets development of 103 specific skills in four categories: self-management skills (e.g., using self-control, dealing with teasing), assertion skills (e.g., asking for help, introducing yourself), academic skills (e.g., completing tasks, organizing materials), and compliance skills (e.g., following rules, waiting for your turn). The list of skills addressed by each of our CD-ROM products -- Preschool Playtime Vol. 1 & 2, My School Day, My Community, and School Rules! Vol. 1 & 2 -- appears below.
