The subjects were four elementary students with disabilities who have social skill deficits. Both quantitative and qualitative methods were used and data were collected through testing, observations, interviews, and file collection to find out their present social skill abilities with the appropriate curriculum indicators. Then a self-designed social skill curriculum were implemented to these four target subjects. The main findings were : (1) the elementary students with disabilities had a wide range of social skill deficits and they influenced one another; (2) social skill deficits affected their school adaptations and academic performances; (3) using multiple teaching methods infused into social skill curriculum could enhance their social skills ; (4) co-teaching through cooperating general education teachers and special education teachers together could help students gain social skills; (5) cooperating teachers and parents together could also help students learn social skills; (6) the social skill curriculum should be adjusted according to the changes of the student and the environment. At last, some suggestions were made to special education teachers, general education teachers, school administrators, parents and students for future implementation of social skill curriculum.
