"Ask me about" Social Skills Tip #1

Social skills are critical for achieving success in life. Make a visual way for others to ask your child questions. For example create a 3x5 card that says "Ask me about..." Or create communication bubbles (you can find the bubbles in the drawing tools in Word) these bubbles would have quick references for topics of conversation. Or you could use photographs to help prompt conversations. Once the above is created work on prompting your child and those he or she interacts with to look at the social prompt for communication. Over time this should increase the success with communication partners.
