\nthis school year: \/<\/p>\n
Strategies for teaching: Social Thinking Skills
\n\/A Workshop for Parents and Professionals\/<\/p>\n
Tuesday, April 10, 2012
\n7:00 p.m. \u2013 9:00 p.m.
\nMeeting Location: Hanover High School (First Floor), Cedar Street
\n\/<\/p>\n
Description: \/ Having a high “Social I.Q.” is extremely important for
\nall children and young adults. Cooperation, empathy, conflict
\nresolution, managing emotions, and listening skills are important
\nskills that are not learned by all children naturally. For some
\nchildren, complex mathematics is easier than carrying on a
\nconversation with a peer. The good news is that social skills can be
\ntaught to children. Social Thinking techniques were developed to help
\nchildren get through their school day as well as develop and maintain
\nfriendships. What are Social Thinking Skills? How we know if a student
\nwill benefit from Social Thinking groups and strategies? Participants
\nin this workshop will gain increased knowledge and understanding of
\nsocial thinking, and strategies to stimulate the development of these
\nskills in diverse learners.<\/p>\n
\/Presented by:\/
\n\/ \/Amy Gordon, M.Ed. of Second Nature Social Skills<\/p>\n
