Assessment of Social Communication in School-Age Students
In this training, participants will 1) Describe social communication and its disorders and 2) Describe assessment of social communication as part of an interprofessional team.
George is having a hard time making friends. In conversations, he sometimes interrupts or changes the topic abruptly. He doesn't pick up on nonverbal cues and often misinterprets his classmates' intentions or feelings. In the classroom, he struggles to follow rules. He always seems to be in trouble. His classmates sometimes tease him. How can we assess students who, like George, struggle with social communication? This training will address what social communication is and how to assess it. The training will focus on students who are in late elementary through high school.
