Peer Park Games & Ice Cream
Social Exposure Group: Wilder Park & Ice Cream
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, talking to store clerks) with a desirable activity (playing in the park and ordering ice cream). The ATSA Therapist will shape nonverbal responding into verbal responding and facilitate peer-to-peer interaction in the community setting with ATSA peers, community members, and store clerks. No travel fee! Register below for one or both dates.
