Social Competencies Assessment & Treatment Strategies
Unpacking the Social Mind: Dynamic Assessment Tasks for Exploring Social Learning
ages 5 - young adult
About This Course
Many of us walk, skip, or move through space effortlessly, but do we really know how to explain the mechanism of how we do it? The same is true for social interactions. While we engage with others routinely, it's challenging to understand how our social mind is the catalyst for what we say and do (or refrain from saying and doing) across environments and people. In this course, we'll dive into a handful of informal neurodiversity-affirming dynamic assessment tasks using video examples, and explore observational scales to discover core characteristics that make up our social selves and are the foundation for social competencies.
