The Social Success Workbook for Teens is a comprehensive, therapist-created resource designed to help teenagers with Asperger’s, nonverbal learning disorders, or other social communication difficulties improve their social understanding and self-confidence. With 40 engaging, practical activities, the workbook supports young people in recognising their strengths, understanding emotions, reading social cues, and developing essential friendship and communication skills.

Tools for managing social stress, like “cool-down” strategies and calming techniques
Support with understanding boundaries, choosing friends, and having conversations
Prompts to help teens reflect on their own behaviour and how others may see it
Strengths-based tasks that boost self-awareness and build on what the teen does well
Ideal for use with:
Teens with autism spectrum conditions, social communication challenges or anxiety

Foster carers and professionals working with neurodivergent or socially anxious teens
Parents or carers seeking to support their teen’s social development at home
Each activity is accompanied by “You Need to Know” guidance, explaining key social concepts in teen-friendly language. Activities can be completed independently or with a supportive adult, making this resource flexible for one-to-one, group or self-guided use.
The Social Success Workbook for Teens is more than just a worksheet pack—it is a confidence-building toolkit that helps teenagers better understand themselves, relate to others, and feel more comfortable in the social world around them.
