Abstract
Social skills are the foundation for getting along with others. Lack of Social Skills
can lead to behavioral difficulties in school, delinquency, inattentiveness, peer
rejection, emotional difficulties, bullying, difficulty in making friends,
aggressiveness, problems in interpersonal relationships, poor self-concept, academic
failures, concentration difficulties, isolation from peers, and depression. Children
with learning disabilities, sensory integration difficulties, Autism spectrum disorder
neurological disorders, and emotional disabilities often need additional training in
social skills. They will be likely to benefit from direct instruction in social skills
groups led by trained professionals and the availability of a safe environment in
which to practice newly learned skills. The present paper will discuss the methods of
teaching social skills to Learning disabled in detail.
