Presented by Teri McGill, Metro Region ASD Network Coordinator, this session for child care providers of children age 2-5 will cover:
> Understanding the value of teaching social skills
> An Overview of Preschool Life Skills (from FtF Behavioral)
> Key social skills that impact the development of friendships/peer mediated social skills
> How to embed social skills throughout the daily routine
> How adults can prompt and facilitate an increase of social interactions throughout the day |
