Abstract
Integration of pupils with Special Educational Needs requires the learning of social skills. A lot of research in the international literature explains the difficulty of pupils in the autism spectrum, students with ADHD syndrome and students with mental retardation to acquire social skills and interact with peers and adults. The most commonly used techniques that promote the development of social skills are incidental teaching, structured learning, and discrete-trial teaching, which are discussed in this article.
