Description
If you are working on Speech filters for conversation and Social Skills you should address humor. Students on the Autism Spectrum or with Social Communication deficits often mistake insults for humor. This is also an ideal lesson for teaching perspective taking, theory of mind, inference or point of view. If your students have a hard time deciding if humor is appropriate they must learn some basic rules in helping them navigate if a comment is funny or insulting. This is a good deck to introduce this skill from the Point of View of the other person (perspective taking). Your students will receive 45 cards which consist of 14 instructional cards and 23 separate scenarios to discuss. The interactive cards consist of 15 multiple choice cards, 7 true or false, 2 fill in the blanks and 6 open ended cards that will allow you to decide if your student can actually explain why a comment is, or isn’t insulting. 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 20-30 minutes however if you are using it as a teaching tool during instruction the lesson can easily fill 90 minutes with breaks in between for group discussion. When I use this lesson with my Social Skills classroom it takes 90 minutes. NOTE: this resource has an accompanying Printie with the same name
