Alternative Behaviors will be offering A Learning to Learn Social Skills Camp this year focusing on the behaviors that occur when a child is presented with a situation in where they don’t have the social skills to react to social cues. The camp will be in a theme based setting with a different them each week to keep things fresh and exciting.
Camp will start July 5th and run thru September 3, 2010.
Alternative Behaviors, LLC, offers social skills groups to facilitate the generalization of skills taught in school and/or therapy programs to the natural environment. Using Skinner’s (1957) Analysis of Verbal Behavior as the foundation of our groups, we help children and adolescents learn and practice newly acquired skills with other similar-aged children who have like abilities. Each social skills group includes 4 to 5 children and 2 to 3 ABA trained therapists. They meet bi-weekly for 10 sessions and run 2 hours in length. Group sessions are held in-office in addition to out in the community. Examples of community outings include the Reston Petting Zoo, bowling, rock wall climbing, kayaking, and going to restaurants. As such, group members have ample opportunity to acquire and practice social skills in a variety of environments so as to ensure generalization
