What Everyday Speech is
Everyday Speech is a web-based PK–12 social skills curriculum for educators, with video modeling, games, worksheets and prepared sessions. Its topics include self-regulation, emotional recognition, conversation, self-advocacy, problem-solving, perspective taking, friendship and other social, behavioral and communication skills. The curriculum page describes over 1,000 video modeling lessons and more than 800 ready-to-teach sessions.
