Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
This book offers practical suggestions and advice for how to teach and learn those subtle messages that most people seem to pick up almost automatically but that have to be directly taught to individuals with social-cognitive challenges. Given the serious consequences that can befall a person who violates a social rule, the strategies and detailed lists of curriculum items make The Hidden Curriculum a much-needed resource.

Brenda Smith Myles opens up the world of "things we all know" about social rules in a way that makes it easier for the parent, teacher or specialist to both understand and to use in the education of those for whom such 'rules' are hidden or implicit. This is an eye-opening, hands-on book that will spend little time of your bookshelf! [But make sure you mark your copy or it will go 'walkabout'!]

As an "inclusion" third grade teacher, this is the most practical book on the subject of helping young people develop better social skills that I've read. (And I've read quite a few.) It has valuable information for all students, not just Autistic Spectrum Disorder kids. Clear and simple background and discusion on the issue, followed by lists of social mores that kids might not naturally "pick up on." Eye-opening for teachers who think some kids are being purposely rude or silly...
I plan to do mini-lessons daily with my class using the lists in this book.

Excellent resource for anyone working with children or adults with Austism/Asperger's - and for parents too. The format is easy use and explanations are short, simple, grey & white - just what those who suffer from austism spectrum disorders require to learn the ins and outs of social skills and interactions.

I purchased this book a year ago and it sat on my shelf until today. I dusted it off because I am developing a community-based social skills coaching program for an adolescent with high-functioning Autism. I recalled that the book had a nice list of the hidden curriculum for a variety of social situations (e.g. eating at a restauant, telephone skills, rules for dating, reading body language). There were a few in there that I never would have thought of. This was helpful as a jumping off point for making goals and developing a concise script for the sessions.
There is a section in the book on the strategies to teach the hidden curriculum, but it is limited in content. There is a brief description of a technique, examples of worksheets one could use, but there are no blank reproducible materials of the worksheets they used as examples.
I would recommend this book for those just starting out in the field and teachers or parents who want to know what words to use to explain to their child the "unwritten social rules."
By the way, I would also recommend that you "do not talk about how mucus looks or feels in the throat or looks in your tissue." :)
