Reviews
“Darlene Mannix's Social Skills Activities for Secondary Students with Special Needs does what many books don't do — it promotes the use of social-emotional skills with peers and adults across a variety of settings. Teachers will find this book practical and easy to use.”
- Nick Elksnin, Ph.D., NCSP, Learning & Evaluation Resources, and Linda K. Elksnin, Ph.D. professors emerita, The Citadel (from the back cover of Social Skills Activities for Secondary Students with Special Needs).

"This book helps teachers address a wide spectrum of social challenges — from those faced by all teens to the challenges seen in students with more significant skill deficits. Academic and transition teachers will find this book a useful tool for their libraries."
