Social Cognition: The Science of Relating (part 1)
This two-session course will present different aspects of social cognition. Participants will gain an understanding of what children with strengths in social cognition look like, how difficulties in social cognition are manifested and what children with difficulties in this area experience. Additionally, practical strategies will be offered to help teachers work with and encourage students who experience weaknesses in this area. Participants will also gain insight on how students with strengths in social cognition can be most helpful to those with greater weakness.
