Find out more about the process here.
Empowered4Life uses the methodology of Social Thinking by Michelle Garcia to work on the social competencies of children with ASD. While integrating some principles of ABA and the philosophy of the whole brain child to enhance the learning of these children. However, if your child is non-verbal and has little comprehension skills our parent coaching with ABA-educational therapy will be a more suitable option for you!
It is a concept and framework that revolves around social attention, interpretation of self and others, problem solving skills and having appropriate social responses to teach social competencies and social cognitive self-regulation.
