The Real ABC's of Life Book II "Matching Functioning Levels"

by Travis Breeding

The Real ABC's of Life is a series in which readers will learn how to interpret the world around them and improve their lives by applying and generalizing social skills in different social contexts and environments. The Real ABC's represent skills that children should have been taught in school along with the academic skills they were taught. The Real ABC's are how we apply social skills to life. Learning social skills is part of the equation. The challenge is in learning how to apply and generalize those social skills in all of the different social contexts and environments. In this book you will learn how one person with autism has taught himself how to apply and generalize the social skills that he in different social environments and contexts in order for him to understand the real world around him and become a part of it. The author will break down each social skill into micro steps to show how he learned each micro step of a skill and then applied generalization to learn how to apply each micro step of a social skill in every different context he could encounter. Learning how to generalize social skills and apply them in different environments may have been the most life changing moment in Travis' life. Read the Real ABC's of Life Series to learn how one person learned to generalize social skills in different social context and social environments. Book II is about matching and applying functioning levels of social skills, social thinking, and social context. Everything in life has context to it. Book II is about breaking down the context of social skills, social thinking, social context, antecedents, behaviors, and consequences in order to understand the complete package of a particular social skill and behavior. We will learn how important it is to match functioning levels in all contexts. This is a great book for anyone wanting to learn more about how to teach or learn social skills and then apply them across different social contexts and environments in order to have the complete social package of a social skill.
