Résumé :	The title says it all! Super Skills: A Social Skills Group Program for Children with Asperger Syndrome, High-Functioning Autism and Related Challenges is SUPER at many levels. Based on a thorough and comprehensive understanding of the unique characteristics of individuals with ASD, Judy Coucouvanis presents 30 lessons grouped under four types of skills necessary for social success: fundamental skills, social initiation skills, getting along with others, and social response skills. Each lesson is highly structured and organized, making it easy for even inexperienced teachers and other group leaders to follow and implement successfully. A series of practical checklists and other instruments provide a solid foundation for assessing students' social skills levels and subsequent planning. "I feel privileged to call Judy Coucouvanis my colleague and friend. We have worked together for more than 15 years serving individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and their families. This book is an invaluable guide to parents and professionals who help improve the social skills of children and teens with ASD. The book is clear, concise, practical, easy-to-read, and easy-to-use. The book is written after many years of clinical practice and successful results. It is written for practitioners who are interested in helping children and teens with ASD to develop social skills and to make a difference in their lives. This is a book to be read and practiced time and time again as children grow, change, and need higher levels of social skills. This much-needed book is a true gem." - Luke Y. Tsai, M.D., professor of Psychiatry and Pediatrics, University of Michigan Medical School, and director, Developmental Disorders Clinic, University of Michigan Health System Author, Taking the Mystery out of Medications in Autism/Asperger Syndromes "Super Skills is a great resource for anyone working with students with ASD. Judy Coucouvanis provides valuable background information about how to create and run social skills groups and delineates all the steps needed for students to be successful." - Melissa L. Trautman, special education teacher and co-author, The Hidden Curriculum: Practical Solutions for Understanding Unstated Rules in Social Situations "Judith Coucouvanis has used her vast knowledge of and experience with students with ASD to create a strong and comprehensive social skills curriculum. Super Skills gives our students the opportunity for success. While the content is geared toward the elementary ages, the information and concepts are valuable for all ages. The easy to read and apply format makes this a 'must have' book for anyone working with students in need of social skills training." - Ronda Schelvan, M.S.Ed., autism consultant, special education teacher and co-author, The Hidden Curriculum: Practical Solutions for Understanding Unstated Rules in Social Situations JUDITH COUCOUVANIS, MA, APRN, BC, is a psychiatric nurse practitioner and behavior specialist at the University of Michigan Department of Psychiatry, Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry.
