Intuitive Social Ability Workshops |
|
|
Intuitive Social Ability quantifies the social knowledge that we are not typically conscious of, or that we don't typically discuss. Because it is not overtly taught, individuals with Asperger's Syndrome lack much of this important knowledge.
Example: It is important that we display certain emotions in social settings regardless of legitimately feeling that emotion. For instance, displaying sympathy gives others comfort and helps us to be viewed as caring people. Displaying sympathy can also help us to feel sympathy (Rational Emotive Behavior). People with Asperger's Syndrome do not naturally fake an emotion. They learn to practice an emotion and they learn when they should feel an emotion. But it is just as important to learn how and when to display that emotion, even when they do not necessarily feel it.
The Intuitive Social Ability Workshops incorporate learning, practicing, and applying vital social knowledge to help individuals function better in society. Each Workshop is comprised of...
1 meeting with the families to discuss the topic, how it will be targeted, and what role they will play in the natural environment 6 small group meetings with the participants 3 school visits to observe, rehearse, and apply the information 2 home visits to observe, rehearse, and apply the information |
