Summary

This workshop will focus on teaching three skills that are often not taught in schools or by professionals, as some may consider them “inappropriate”. Lying: how to detect and use deception in social situations that require it. Cheating: How to bend the rules to win a game and detect when others are doing the same. Joking: How to appropriately tease, be teased by others, and laugh with friends in social situations that require it. Practitioners will learn to teach these skills using multiple example training, with students with ASD who are verbal and have social difficulties.
