In some cases, social skills are not adequately addressed in the early years due to a perception these skills are too advanced to focus on at such a young age, or not appropriate for children that also have verbal and cognitive deficits.Yet evidence shows children who lack social and emotional competence experience a delay in the acquisition of fundamental academic skills (Barbarin et al., 2006). During this training, we review intervention strategies used to increase social competence, eight primary behavior categories targeted by the social intervention, and identify ways to begin social competence training with children in the beginning stages of treatment and communication ability. 1. Identify important social skills to assess for and treat in this age group2. Understand strategies and specific tasks that may be implemented to increase social competence3. Increase understanding of executive function definition and tasks related to building executive function skills TIMELINE: This course, on its own has a license for active use for 30-days unless it is purchased as part of a bundle/library.
