One of the best things about having a podcast like this is to learn from people who know a lot about things that I don't. Today's episode is no exception.
Ashley Rose joins me today to discuss best practices for teaching social skills. Here is a snippet from her bio:
Ashley is owner/director of Mission Cognition, Social Skills Development Center. Mission Cognition is a behavior analytic social skills program serving individuals ages 3 and up, with and without a diagnosis who are in need of systematic and explicit play and social skills instruction. Ashley has worked in the field of ABA and special education for 15 years with the last 5 years almost exclusively devoted to social skills instruction. In her free time she admins the ABA Skill Share facebook group.
