From the Paper:
" Do the faculty and staff believe social skills education received by the students had an impact on student pro-social behavior? Seventy-five percent of the teachers noticed improved pro-social behavior. When teachers were asked if they would recommend daily social skills training to other teachers/schools, 100% of the teachers stated that social skills are necessary and students must be able to properly read the teacher.
