New Program: Training in Core Social Skills
Edmonton psychologist Corinne Eckert offers regular Training in Core Social Skills programs throughout the year. To meet demand, the group has added a new program called the 1-1 Social Coaching Program. Based on their Training in Core Social Skills program, children/teens will get the foundational learning of social cognition and, building on this; learning skills related to understanding nonverbal communication (their own and others’); being successful in verbal communication; also handling difficult emotions and social problem-solving. In this program therapists can: individualize the sessions to the child’s particular needs bring in more concrete examples from the child’s own environment have the parents involved in each session, to get updated feedback on the application of skills in the child’s life and also to provide weekly parent coaching tips offer fun social coaching practice at the end of each session with another child and their social coach It may be an excellent fit for a child for whom regular group programs are not the best fit because: the groups are full the start date is missed the child needs a different pace of learning the group program dates/times do not work for the family the child is not emotionally/physically regulated enough yet to learn effectively in a group environment the child needs greater amounts of individualized support For more information please contact Corinne Eckert Child and Adolescent Psychology Phone: (780) 454-4634 Email: office@eckertchildpsych.ca *These psychological services may be reimbursed through extended health insurance program.
