The Award-Winning Building Social Relationships (BSR) Book is Back and Better than Ever!
BSR-3 is a treasure trove of information and resources. The book contains over 40 instructional strategies, and the appendices alone contain over 50 pages of practical materials, including session plans and assessment tools. BSR-3 also includes a revised version of the Autism Social Skills Profile (ASSP-2), a progress monitoring instrument designed to measure social competence in youth with autism. BSR-3 also contains information on the manualized version of the BSR program and the newly developed ASSP-2 scoring guide to assist with implementation, scoring, and interpretation of the instrument
The BSR program was created to address the need for effective social skills programming. The BSR program is a systematic social skills program that addresses both social-cognitive processing and social skill performance. The BSR-3 book provides readers with a conceptual framework that will improve their understanding of social functioning in youth with autism and other social challenges. The book will teach readers how to assess and teach social skills and activate social-cognitive processing in both children and adolescents.
Many parents are tremendously concerned about their child's social functioning and their future quality of life. They see their children struggling to build and maintain social relationships and experiencing peer failure, rejection, and relentless bullying on a regular basis. Most importantly, they see their children dealing with intense social anxiety, depression, and social isolation. Unfortunately, social skill interventions are often designed merely as a reaction to problem behaviors. This often results in parents and practitioners "chasing" problem behaviors while failing to systematically teach social skills. Now, more than ever, our field and, more importantly, our children are in desperate need of effective social skills programing. BSR-3 will guide readers on the path to better social skills programming and improved social outcomes for youth with autism and other social challenges.
