  4. Getting Started: • Data Collection – social skills assessment (teachers/parents/educational assistants) • Cross reference the data to determine what skills to target. • Permission letter for parents. • Create positive incentive materials – choice board; point system; token economy; First-Then card.

  5. Components of Lesson Structured learning consists of four teaching components: • Didactic instruction (explanation of the skill steps). • Modeling of skill steps. • Role-playing skills with feedback. • Practice in and outside the group.
