Some support groups take their members to the Mall to observe social behavior or watching TV or Movies. When my kids were small we took pictures of each other being mad, happy, sad, etc., and they would have to guess just by looking at the picture the emotion. In the old days I used a lot of educational tools that my kids had to guess the outcome. They would be given a picture and a scenario and three options of what they could do to resolve the conflict and have to pick the right one. Practice, practice, practice. Social cues are everywhere. There are now corporate cards for adults in the work place that teach the same things. These are skills that everyone can benefit from.
