Module 8: Social Skills Through a Neuro-Affirming ACT Lens

This module will explore ideas for assisting neurodivergent kids and teens to recognise potential reasons behind miscommunication. Young people are encouraged to be their true selves but to also recognise why things can go wrong socially. Implicit social skills training is discussed, in recognition of the fact that many young people dislike explicit social skills training. Assisting parents in this area is additionally covered.
