People with disabilities are not only hindered at times by their disabilities in general, but some lack in their social skill area as well. It’s always best when you start teaching social skills at the earliest age, but it’s never too late. The following links can be used to help develop lesson plans or even just give you tips and advice on what works.

Children with autism are especially vulnerable to social skill deficits, which in turn hurts any relationship potential in that child’s life. The site has many different areas of lesson plans, activities, and ideas for helping kids with special needs.
