There will be an experimental group in which technology will be used and a control group in which activities will be carried out in the traditional way. The protocol will be carried out once a week for a duration of 45 minutes. The aim is to enhance communication and social skills within the group. A total of 23 sessions are planned. From the first to the third session the participants will acquire skills for communicating and conversing in an appropriate way. Thereafter from the fourth to the eleventh session social stories illustrating scenes from everyday life will be shown, with the aim of learning and managing the dynamics in which they find themselves on a daily basis. At the end of each story shown they will be asked to impersonate the protagonists depicted in the stories, each participant involved in turn will play all the roles shown in the stories, thus working in the mode of role playing. The last part, which includes sessions from the twelfth to the twenty-third, will be dedicated to the correct and conscious use of social networks with a focus on the risks that can be encountered and the correct ways to make good use of them.
