Social Skills Improvement System overview
Authors: Stephen N. Elliott, PhD & Frank M. Gresham, PhD
Linking assessment results to practical interventions
The Social Skills Improvement System addresses the need for an evidence-based, multi-tiered assessment and intervention system to help you help students develop, improve, and maintain important social skills. It was designed by experienced scientist-practitioners Stephen Elliott, PhD, and Frank Gresham, PhD. This family of tools can be used early in the school year to facilitate the universal screening of students at risk for academic or social behavior difficulties, help plan interventions for improving these behaviors, and evaluate progress on targeted skills after intervention. The SSIS™ focuses on key skills that enable the academic success of students 3–19.
