Co-Author of POWER-Solving®: Stepping Stones to Solving Life’s Everyday Social Problems. This is a new social skills curriculum designed to teach children and adolescents to become independent problem-solvers via a hands-on, user-friendly, positive-practice, interactive approach. Through the use of child- and adolescent-friendly, engaging materials, which rely heavily on visual cues and supports, participants gain the “tools” necessary to successfully problem-solve and enhance their social skills.The POWER-Solving® curriculum includes various modules which represent common social situations that children and adolescents experience.This program has the flexibility to be used as part of a primary prevention program prior to the identification of any specific disorder or disability, and it can be incorporated into various school curricula to promote social and emotional learning, including as part of life skills, health and physical education, character education, anti-bullying, social studies or other associated curricula. In addition, children and adolescents identified as “at-risk” could benefit greatly from acquiring the social skills associated with the program. Finally, any child or adolescent who has been experiencing significant social problems could benefit from this program, as it may enhance their existing intervention plan. POWER-Solving® incorporates many states’ Core Curriculum Content Standards, promotes sensitivity regarding multiculturalism and individual differences, emphasizes a process approach, helps develop higher-level thinking, and provides practical activities and strategies for adults to facilitate generalization across various settings.Email: social@power-solving.comOffice: 732-873-1212http://www.POWER-Solving.com
