Description
A great lesson for Social Skills groups is teaching the speech filter. This Social Filter Activity may be generally hard for many students on the Autism Spectrum or students with Social Communication Disorders. These students often struggle with the truth. Some students feel they need to be truthful even if the comment is not very diplomatic. This simple deck teaches students how to say what they want , but in a more appropriate way. It teaches students how to be diplomatic. How to say the same thing without being mean or rude. I always tell my students, "Say what you MEAN- just don't say it MEAN." Your students will receive 19 cards which consist of 18 multiple choice cards and 18 separate situations that require the student to choose between an appropriate or inappropriate comment. I would suggest running the deck as a group lesson and then assigning for HW to assess the skill. Some basic interference skills are required. The cards work well with older students (Grades 6- 10) or best when used with students who have mild-moderate cognitive delays yet good language skills. An independent lesson will take about 10-15 minutes however if you are using it as a teaching tool during instruction the lesson can easily fill 30 minutes with breaks in between for group discussion. When I use this lesson with my Social Skills classroom it takes 30 minutes. If you are looking for the accompanying worksheet search the PRINTIE section of my store for the Printie with the same title
