There is a growing awareness that children and adolescents with learning disabilities and attention deficit disorders often have social/communication deficits. Social learning is not a subject that is consciously taught. For the most part, the ability to understand social interaction, read facial expressions, perceive and express emotions, control impulsivity, and interpret language’s more subtle meaning are acquired intuitively.
Some children with learning disabilities need to be explicitly taught social and communication skills and encouraged to practice these skills in a supportive environment. Too much anger can be costly, both physically and emotionally. Most kids & teenagers can use their anger in appropriate ways in some situations, and yet be ineffective in others. The Positive Conflict Resolution Program is designed to reduce levels of anger, especially in provocative situations. Participants will learn effective coping behaviors to stop escalation and to resolve conflicts.
We offer this program for children and early adolescents to help them manage conflicts, develop constructive strategies to diffuse confrontations and become accepted by their peers. This program is available at both the North Peel and Mississauga offices.
