Superheroes Social Skills is an evidence-based program that enhances the social competence of elementary students with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), behavioural disorders, or developmental delays. Superheroes was specifically designed to improve the social skills of high-functioning children with ASD, but is also appropriate for any student who needs to learn to interact appropriately with peers and adults. Superheroes teaches 17 critical social skills:

  • Getting Ready
  • Following Directions
  • Reducing Anxiety
  • Participating
  • Imitating
  • Body Basics
  • Expressing Wants and Needs
  • Joint Attention
  • Turn Taking
  • Responding to Questions and Requests
  • Conversation
  • Recognising Emotions in Yourself and Others
  • Perspective Taking
  • Reporting a Problem
  • Recognising and Reporting Bullying
  • Responding to Bullying
  • Problem Solving and Safety

With the help of Scooter, Interactor Girl, The Initiator, fast-hands animation, video peer modelling, colourful comics, and role-playing activities, students are engaged at every step as they learn essential skills that will help them become successful at school and at home.

Superheroes is the perfect program for special education teachers, counsellors, school psychologists, and speech/language pathologists who work with students who are resistant to adult instruction. In this program, the Superhero characters introduce social skill steps via Fast-Hands Animation. Peers provide video models, and students view social narratives on Digital Comics. Students practice skills steps in role-plays, social games, free time, and in generalised settings at home and at school.
