Improving Social Skills Deficits for All Ages
This workshop has been designed to be appropriate for parents of children of all ages, whether neurotypical or diagnosed with autism, learning disabilities or ADD / ADHD.
Many parents make the mistake of “rescuing” their children from social skills mistakes. This is especially if they have been diagnosed with autism, ADHD or learning disabilities. While it may seem helpful to spare a child from embarrassment and frustration, this reaction does not help a child thrive and grow into an independent adult.
What You Will Discover About Improving Social Skills Deficits:
- Why social skills are an issue concerning ALL kids today.
- How social coaching can impact your child’s success.
- Why “rescuing” your child from social missteps is a mistake—and what to do instead.
- Techniques and tools that parents can immediately use at home.
- Discover calming tools to help your child in the moment.
