In preschool and beyond, professionals and parents alike are motivated to focus on “social skills” and the best ways to make children strong social communicators. Unfortunately, traditional approaches to teaching social skills often meet with limited success – especially for students with unique developmental profiles. This discussion will focus on the fusion of developmental and cognitive behavioral strategies to support the emergence of social cognition and communication in children. Learn to target underlying cognitive skills to strengthen social interaction in the context of relationship-driven work. Identify ways of recognizing and scaffolding the range of developmental capacities that go into the complex process of social interaction. Finally, explore ways of promoting the growth of the social mind at various developmental levels. As a result of this workshop/lecture the participant will be able to:
Describe major characteristics distinguishing developmental, behavioral, and cognitive behavioral treatment approaches for social communication.
Discuss the interplay between sensory, motor, cognitive, and environmental factors that underlie successful social interaction.
List three ways of combining developmental and cognitive behavioral treatment strategies to support the development of social cognition and interaction.
