Join us on February 22nd 2024 as Mady Kriete, BCaBA, discusses facilitating social interactions between neurotypical and neurodivergent individuals to promote social learning and friendships. This presentation will explore how adults can facilitate peer interactions using evidence-based practices including peer modelling, visual cues, and social stories. Working within a neuroaffirming lens, we will also discuss the role of a facilitator and how to build trust, empathy and responsiveness with neurotypical individuals, which will serve as a foundation for meaningful outcomes.
