Description
POWER-Solving®: Stepping Stones to Solving Life’s Everyday Social Problems is a new social skills curriculum designed to teach elementary school-aged children and middle school and high school adolescents to become independent problem-solvers via a hands-on and user-friendly interactive approach that focuses on visual cues and supports.
This social skills curriculum teaches students to problem-solve first using their “toolbox” (i.e., the five steps of POWER-Solving®) and then to apply this “toolbox” to various social situations, allowing them to develop and enhance their social-emotional skills. Child and Adolescent Student Workbook Sets when paired with their corresponding Facilitator Guides will help students successfully solve problems in various social situations at school, home, and in the community.
Within each workbook and guide are the five steps of POWER-Solving®, activities and strategies to promote generalization of skills, screening and assessment tools, and a letter to parents. POWER-Solving® has been applied successfully in classrooms, summer programs, clinical settings and home environments.
POWER-SOLVING CURRICULM INCLUDES:
- Introduction: Child Workbook #1
- Social Conversation: Child Workbook #2
- Developing Friendships: Child Workbook #3
- Anger Management: Child Workbook #4
