SOCIAL SKILLS TRAINING
At Alpine Behavior Therapy Clinic, we focus on a comprehensive approach to understanding a child’s specific behaviors. Careful assessment of a child’s developmental history is gathered to provide your therapist an accurate child profile or “snapshot” of how your child functions in his or her everyday world. With this “whole child constellation” perspective in mind, we specialize in providing portable and useful skills that positively shape and train pro-social behaviors for children. These skills maximize their success within the family, academic and peer social circles.
Social Skills Training modules are typically presented didactically to your child on a weekly basis, with informative parent feedback provided at the close of each individualized session. Role-playing and modeling along with visual aids are the interactive tools relied upon to teach these crucial developmental skills to children who typically struggle with social skills issues.
Areas of social skill adeptness that are routinely reviewed and practiced include:
