Children who have Learning Disabilities often have difficulty with social interaction at school and at home. Difficulties with social interaction can cause a child to feel lonely and depressed, which then impacts their performance academically, and can continue to impact their relationships with others.
A collaborative program between LDEdmonton and Corinne Eckert Child & Adolescent Psychology offers a 10 week social skills program for children 8-12 years old.
In this program, children will learn how to make and keep friends by learning and practicing:
- What makes a good friend and how to be a good friend;
- Listening Skills;
- Reading Feelings;
- Having a Conversation;
- Questions and Compliments;
- Problem Solving;
- Strong Emotions (anger and anxiety);
- Put Downs and Teasing.
