Practical Strategies and Interventions for ODD, ADHD, Autism,
Learning Disabilities, OCD, and Other Related Conditions
The rise of autism spectrum disorders in recent years has become epidemic to 1 in 68 children (CDC). Children, teens, and
young adults with ASD’s and with other perceptual disorders are counting on professionals to teach them social skills to
help them be successful in life. With scientifically-based social skill interventions, our young people can be more likely to
be successful; socially, academically, and behaviorally. Clinicians, educators, and parents can work together to employ and
generalize scientifically-based strategies.
This brand new and unique, practical seminar will use real-life scenarios to identify social skills deficits along with proven
strategies to treat and improve them. Utilizing proven examples from actual therapeutic settings, participants will be able
to relate to the realism of the situations and the practicality of how to address them. Participants will be exposed and
encouraged to practice using these strategies during hands-on activities. The goal of this seminar is to provide participant
with over a hundred specific corrective valuable and realistic “tools” they can use right away when they return to their
practice, school, institution, or home.
