The group setting will encourage learning and practice of alternative behaviors. As they role-play with their peers, children will naturally be able to extend these interactions to peers and adults outside of the group. Every other week, a concurrent parent training will take place, during which parents will be given strategies to work on social skills and positive behaviors with their child. Role-playing will be combined with feedback and coaching to practice the skills.
Suitable for children with:
- Social skills difficulties (shyness, problem-solving, interpersonal communication)
- Behavioral difficulties (impulsivity, disruptiveness, aggression)
