This presentation is designed to teach parents what a social learning challenge is, as well as frameworks, concepts, and strategies so that they may better understand the social learning experience and what it looks like across the day. Attendees will explore a variety of tools and strategies to help their loved ones process and respond to social clues. Information will also be provided the Social Thinking clinic and services.
