Parents buy a bicycle for their son or daughter, knowing the child doesn't yet know how to ride the two-wheeler. But they presume competence; they know the child will learn how to ride. (And some of us need our training wheels on longer than others!) Some five-year-olds start kindergarten already knowing how to read; others barely know their ABCs. But the teacher presumes all are competent and all will learn.

What:
Social Communication Skills are vital to school and life success. There is compelling evidence that all children can benefit from direct instruction in specific social communication skills. This presentation describes the developmental sequences of social communication skills along with effective instructional methods that teach children expected behaviors and give them "words" they can use to interact in socially appropriate ways. Strategies that provide opportunities to model, reinforce and re-teach these important skills will be described and practiced. Techniques will be provided that involve families, which makes the impact of learning these skills very powerful.
Participants will be able to: Describe the developmental sequences of social communication skills. Use effective techniques to teach social communication skills to young children. Enhance strategies to facilitate pro-social behavior in young children. Target Audience: General and Special Educators, Paraprofessionals, Agency Personnel, Parents and others who work with young children When/Where:
