HOW DO WE TEACH & ASSESS SOCIAL SKILLS?

SOCIALLY SAAVY

  

All of our individualised social programs are guided by direct observations and the Socially Saavy Checklist. (James T. Elliot, PhD, BCBA-D & Christine Almeida, M.S.Ed., Ed.S., BCBA). 


The Socially Savvy manual is a resource which uses the principle of Applied Behaviour Analysis to assess, conceptualise and design effective interventions to address social goals. 


Strategies used to teach social skills include:


     · Positive feedback and reinforcement. 

     · Direct teaching instruction. 

     · Modelling. 

     · Social stories. 

     · Prompting. 

     · Teaching functional communication. 

     · Self-monitoring.
