Social Language Rules & Tools: A Preschool Curriculum

Use Social Language Rules and Tools to create a ‘Rules and Tools Classroom’ and improve your student’s social language skills during play, conversation, and classroom participation.   This engaging curriculum can be used with all early learners and is especially powerful for students with autism and other social language challenges.  Teachers and speech-language pathologists can collaborate using this unique program to present highly interactive lessons and then follow up with easy carryover strategies for incidental teaching all day long.   Students will get excited about their new social skills (e.g. “I Tapped and Called!”, “You grabbed my idea!”, and “We Stayed on the Track!”).   Designed to be fun, entertaining, and, most importantly, memorable!

Age: Designed for preschool-aged children, typically between 3 to 5 years old.

How To Use It

• Determine baseline using the Screening Device and Social Language Developmental Milestones, which are included in the program, to decide the order in which you present this curriculum.
• Collaborate with other teachers to present scripted lessons, augmenting with pullout sessions, as needed. 
• Work with teachers using multisensory strategies (e.g. songs, chants, gestures, objects, and pictures) to carry over these new concepts to play, conversation, and general classroom participation. 
• Send the home care provider a letter for each lesson to promote carryover.  Home care provider letters are included in every lesson.
