    Ms. Elleseff provides a thorough examination of components to consider when treating social-pragmatic deficits in school-aged children. She begins by detailing reasons why this is an area that is important to consider, specifically that social-pragmatic deficits are often under diagnosed and often untreated. She further explains the hierarchy of skills that are expected along the way to developing expected social skills. I appreciated her coverage of both individual vs. group therapy advantages, as there are clearly reasons why one and/or both approaches may be effective. In addition, she details the components of social skills treatments, target skills, and intervention approaches. Behavior functions often exhibited by this population are also discussed. Ms. Elleseff also describes proactive behavior interventions, teaching replacement behaviors, the use of play therapy, the role of social stories/scripts, as well as examples of commercially available products that can be utilized in therapy. These products cover a variety of different skill target areas including social skills training, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, social thinking training, problem solving, social-pragmatic domains, listening comprehension, and narrative production. She concludes with the role of parents in providing a team approach alongside other professionals who work with these children. Multiple appendices are provided as a quick visual reminder of key components detailed. In summary, Ms. Elleseff, provides a concise overview of social-pragmatic deficits and their implications for treatment that is beneficial for both professionals and parents alike. As an SLP who is preparing to transition from hospital-based therapy to school-based therapy, I found this presentation extremely valuable in further educating me about ways in which I can target social-pragmatic deficits with students on my caseload who would benefit from treatment or who have IEP goals in these areas.
