The Big Question…
Is it our responsibility to teach learning disabled students social
skills?
![Page 3: Last One Picked First One Picked On Richard Lavoie Learning Disabilities and Social Skills September 2010.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/5697c0131a28abf838cccfb5/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Why Should We Teach Social Skills?
• All environments are social environments
• Learning Disabled children do not learn Social Skills through osmosis, accident, or exposure
• The Social Skills must be TAUGHT; inclusion is not enough.

Why Teach Social Skills
• One cannot compensate for a Social Skill Disability.
• In other words, we can accommodate a reading disability and a math disability through technology, and/or modification and adaptation.
• There are no adaptations for a Social Skill Disability

Why Social Skills are hard to teach
• To teach the skill, it must be broken down into the most basic skill level.
• Example: signing the thank-you card
• 12 out 15 LD students didn’t know where to sign the card

LD students cannot ask questions.
• What is the social implication of not being able to ask a question?
– Social difficulty – finding the lunch room– Academic difficulty-asking for help/clarification
