Abstract

This article presents a step-by-step, empirically validated method for designing, implementing, and evaluating a formal social skills intervention based on specific skill deficits as identified by the Social Skills Rating System (SSRS; F. M. Gresham & S. N. Elliott, 1990). The 6 steps include (a) identifying students for participation, (b) identifying specific skill deficits and designing the intervention program, (c) organizing intervention groups, (d) preparing intervention leaders, (e) implementing the intervention, and (f) monitoring student progress.
