Questions from teachers

What are social skills worksheets, and who are these cards for?

Social skills worksheets are printable practice for the everyday moments of getting along with other people. These cards are the friendship strand of that, written for teens and young adults from about 13 to 21 in special education, life skills and transition programs, and for the SLPs, counselors and job coaches who run social groups. They are written at a plain reading level, without childish framing, about real peer situations rather than made-up ones.

Do the cards show the correct answer?

No. Each card carries the situation and the responses only; the expected choice and the why line live on a separate teacher key. The correct response is rotated across the deck rather than sitting in one position, so a student cannot learn to always pick A and still be right.

What is the Friendship Check-In?

It is a companion card that turns the deck into a weekly habit instead of a one-off worksheet. The student names one thing to try, then ticks off what they did that week from four lines: said hi to someone, asked someone to hang out, listened to a friend, handled a disagreement calmly. One tick is a real win, and the card comes back the next week for one more.

My student communicates differently. Does that still work here?

Yes, and it is built into the guide rather than bolted on. There is rarely one right way to be a friend, and a spoken sentence, a text, a device or a written note all count as a response. The teacher guide asks you to say that out loud so the class hears it, and to accept any response that meets the same goal, so a student who uses AAC or who writes rather than speaks is answering, not failing.
