I do a lot of social groups with high functioning students. I'm always struggling to encourage participation and I think I've finally figured it out..an interactive notebook to go along with the lessons!!

It can be used with a variety of client groups but specifically targets middle school to high school age groups.

This resource includes 13 mini-lesson plans and gives ideas and examples while teaching higher functioning language concepts.
