The core social skills for successful social interactions include:

• Social Initiation
• Social Reciptrocity
• Perspective Taking
• Self-Awareness
• Nonverbal Communication
• Understanding / Managing Emotions

Social Skills Instruction can be based on individual or group instruction, as well as a combination of both.

Behavior Monitoring

The Behavior Team regularly monitors student progress toward behavior goals. Behavior monitoring is important for the purpose of reviewing data to help the team implement strategies that benefit students in mastering their goals. Students who are in BLP-3 will have behavior monitoring logs completed by the behavior coach.

Data collection includes observation, consulting with teachers, direct lessons and interactions with students, as well as documentation to track progress.

Behavior Monitoring is how student progress is identified through the implementation of interventions that help teach replacement behaviors with the goal of students successfully developing pro-social behaviors.
