As a child’s social development progresses and he/she frequently engage in social interactions, conflicts are likely to arise and increase. Disputes require adult intervention to resolve. As children learn to empathize with one another and accurately communicate their feelings with words, conflicts may be resolved on their own by yielding to, negotiating, or disengaging play with another child. Research has shown that the ability to identify problems, develop goals, generate solutions, evaluate, and select effective solutions leads to socially competent behaviors.

This module is a component of the No Miracle Transformation Curriculum. It is designed to be used in conjunction with other books in the series to provide parents, educators, and professionals with lessons that advance conflict resolution skills in children with autism and related disorders. The module consists of vibrant illustrations and lesson plans with detailed directions that are simple to follow.
