SELPA 1 CAC parent education event

Improving Your Child’s Social Skills: From Childhood to Adulthood - Social Skills Therapy encompasses a variety of skills including engaging with others, using language to make connections, understanding perspective of others and acting accordingly, etc. However, to build social intelligence families must have a systematic approach to enable daily practice in order to see changes in the way children play with their peers, organize their lives and exercise their imagination on the playground and in their school work. Please join us in exploring what a “systematic approach” to daily practice looks like with The Talking Playhouse founder, Jenn Bulka. Jenn has been working in the field since 1979 and is a nut for neuroscience and how to change the brain; she has a fresh perspective on what it really takes to make social skills become a habit. The first hour will be about choosing the right path for your young child and developing a plan with “best practices.” The second hour will address late-phase social skills from middle school through adulthood and how the brain continues to develop successful social skills strategies.
