Topic: Social Skills
Subcategory: Research
Summary: Using a multiple-baseline-across-skills design, researchers tested the effectiveness of instruction on six social skills for three groups of youth: those with LD, without LD, and on probation; all three groups acquired the skills to such an extent that they could generalize their use to novel situations.
