Social ABCs

The Social ABCs is a six-week program that empowers you to support your child’s (ages 12-42 months) social communication skills development.

In this program, you will learn and practice a combination of developmental and behavioural principles and focus on improving your toddler’s use of vocalizations to communicate and share positive emotions with others. You will work with a trained coach to learn the intervention strategies in your child’s natural environment, using play-based activities and daily routines that your child finds the most motivating.

Schedule

The program consists of six small-group workshops with coaches and other caregivers and nine individual coaching sessions with the caregiver, their child and the Social ABCs coach.  Both caregiver and child must be present for all individual coaching sessions. Caregiver only required for weekly caregiver workshops.

Caregiver Workshops:
Jan 29 – Mar 4, 2024 | 1 Day (Mon) | 1:00 pm – 2:30 pm

Coaching Sessions:
Jan 29 – Mar 8, 2024 | (Mon-Fri) | 2 coaching sessions per week for the first three weeks and 1 coaching session per week for the final three weeks. One hour coaching sessions will be scheduled individually.

*Due to the holiday on February 19, the caregiver workshop for that week will be rescheduled to Tuesday, February 20 from 10:00am-11:30am.
