Abstract
The planned training of social skills is an essential tool to optimize the integration in the society and improves the people’s quality of life. Many procedures are used in teaching social skills for individuals with Down Syndrome; but problems have frequently appeared in the maintenance and generalization of social skills in different situations than context in which learning has been carried out. Programs of cognitive training in specific social skills and metacognitive skills seem to reduce these problems, since by these subjects are able to generate their own maintenance and generalization of skills, achieving a higher level of social competence. In this review we present a theoretical instructional design for teaching social skills, specifically requests in individuals with Down Syndrome.
