The CFP uses a manualized treatment program to deliver social skills training to children ages 5-12 years old in a group setting. Sessions will include direct instruction, modeling, role-playing, and practice in concepts that may include communication, participation, cooperation, validation, frustration management, conflict resolution, development of group identity, dyadic conversation, entering and ongoing interaction, ignoring negative provocation, and social reinforcement.

The skills and strategies taught will be monitored and reinforced during group activities. They will develop the social skills, problem-solving skills, and social awareness necessary to enable him or her to get along better with other children. We will assist your child by teaching them appropriate behaviors:

• • to achieve success in classroom situations so as to enhance academic performance and productivity;
  • to follow through with instructions,
  • to comply with adult requests, and to complete tasks that he/she may commonly fail to finish;
  • and to improve their self-esteem by teaching him or her competencies in academic, recreational, and other task-related areas.

Parents will have the opportunity to sign up for additional parent training where they will learn how to develop, reinforce, and maintain these positive changes.

Parents meet individually or work in groups to learn behavior management techniques and solve problems. This program helps parents promote positive changes in their children’s home and school behavior.

We tailor sessions to meet the needs of your child and your family.

We can work with your child’s prescribing physician to track changes in behavior in order to more accurately monitor the effectiveness of treatment.

We offer consultation meetings with a child’s school staff and parents to develop individualized treatment program to manage problematic behaviors and improve academic performance.
