Intensive Social Skills Camp - July 2017

This "Intensive" programme is a little different than our usual Social Learning programme that we do throughout the year.

Our usual Social Learning Programme is twice a week, spread out over 5 weeks (10 sessions total). We have found that having a few days break between sessions allows the child to absorb, digest, and practice the concepts learned in sessions during everyday interactions in their everyday environments, such as home and school. This is based on feedback from parents and teachers about the improvements in the children, in terms of social awareness, self-initiatied social interactions, and social language.

Our "Intensive" Social Learning Programme is a bit different. Right now it's offered twice a year. 4 days in a row, at 2 hours a day. We have found that this higher intensity (and the careful selection of activities) help the children bond quckly with children they may not have known prior to the intensive. In fact, children who go separate ways afterwards often talk about their new friends for many months afterwards! What great emotional memories! This option is also great for children who may not be able to join our "regular" twice a week Social Learning programme.

By the way, we keep to an average of 6 children per session, to ensure quality interaction between and among the children.

Below are the details of our upcoming Intensive.

Understanding the Possible Reasons for Challenging Behaviour and Strategies to Ease...Training in Penang

Part 1: Helping parents with issues in the home and community.
Part 2: Updating and refresher training for educators.

Often, we try to "change behaviour" without considering why the behaviour is happening. An in-depth exploration and consideration on the WHY often leads to the choosing of strategies which are more effective and long-lasting.
