(Grades 7-12) Making friends is a skill like any other-there are rules to follow, ways to measure progress, and reasons why some people are better at it than others. Although it may seem like this skill comes naturally to those who don't have Asperger's disorder, nonverbal learning disorder (NLD), or other problems relating to others, the reality is that even the most popular people must constantly hone their abilities in order to make new friends and keep the friends they already have. This workbook includes forty activities that will help students recognize and use their unique strengths, understand the unspoken rules behind how people relate to each other, and improve their social skills.
