Free Social Skills Seminar - New Jersey - HI-STEP Summer Camp
Summer can be a very difficult time for children with Asperger's Syndrome, High Functioning Autism, ADHD, learning disabilities, anxiety and other conditions, many of whom cannot participate in typical summer programs or camps because of poor social skills.
Parents, educators and mental health providers are invited to a free 90-minute workshop to learn about best practices for summer social skills training. Attendees will learn: How the summer months can be used to teach and maintain social skills for children with disabilities; best practices to teach and generalize social skills; and strategies to help children make and keep friends.
Attendees will also learn about HI-STEP (Helping Improve Social Skills Through Evidence-based Practices), a 6-week day program designed to help develop children's social skills, problem-solving skills and emotional-behavioral skills through group activities, individualized attention, sports and recreational activities, creative arts and academic-related activities. With locations in Pennington, NJ and Scotch Plains, NJ, HI-STEP is designed for children with social skills difficulties, many of whom attend the program as part of their Extended School Year (ESY) programming.
The 2012 workshop will be offered at six locations this spring: Piscatway, NJ on February 29, Flemington, NJ on March 1; Clark, NJ on March 7; East Hanover, NJ on March 14; Newtown, PA on March 15; and Hamilton, NJ on April 19.
Educators can request a certificate documenting 1.5 hours of Professional Development. Space is limited and pre-registration is required. Please contact Sophia at Behavior Therapy Associates 732-873-1212, or email
to register. For more information, visit
