ADHD SOCIAL SKILLS TRAINING IN PERTH

I will be running social skills training for primary school, children in the second semester.  The programme, which was developed for children with attentional difficulties, will consist of sixteen 45-minute sessions over two school terms.

Children will be taught the following skills:

• meet people, be friendly and hold a conversation

• give compliments and show care

• seek attention in constructive ways

• understand their own feelings

• ‘read’ the feelings of others

• take turns, be calmer under pressure, handle loss and disappointment with
  poise

• deal with worry

• thoughtfully respond to rejection and bullying

• always apply positive thinking to fix problems

• cope more resiliently with the inevitable emotional highs and lows that life
   offers.

Places are strictly limited.
