Home Depot Workshop Peer Group

Social Exposure Group: Home Depot Workshop Peer Group

The purpose of Social Exposures Group is to foster generalization of treatment gains across people, activities, and locations. Counter-conditioning is used to pair an anxiety-provoking expectation (social interaction) with a desirable activity (a building project at Home Depot). The ATSA Therapist will shape nonverbal responding into verbal responding and facilitate peer-to-peer interaction in the community setting with ATSA peers, community peers, and Home Depot staff.

Agenda:

  • 9:00am: Drop off at the Garden entrance of Home Depot, Oakbrook Terrace location
Activity: Child-Directed Interaction activity, followed by the Home Depot exposure task with Verbal-Directed peer-to-peer interaction, and ending with a closing circle.
  • 10:30am: Pick up at the Garden entrance of Home Depot, Oakbrook Terrace location
