Problem-Solving Situations For Children

Children in special education programs often have difficulty interacting with others and using language to solve problems. Each problem situation in this book is represented in an illustration. After listening to a description of the problem, students are asked questions such as: What would you do in this situation?

The illustrations help students to focus their attention on the problem being discussed. The activities can be presented individually or with groups. The importance of taking turns, being polite, and showing concern for the needs and feelings of others is emphasized. Reproducible worksheets are included.
