A structured, skills-first approach for kids, teens, and adults who want smoother interactions at school, work, and home. Training targets specific micro-skills: starting/ending conversations, reading nonverbal cues, turn-taking, perspective-taking, assertive (not aggressive) communication, setting/respecting boundaries and consent, asking/declining, joining groups, repairing conflict and apologizing, self-advocacy, and healthy digital/social media norms. Methods include modeling, behavioral rehearsal, in-session coaching, graded in-vivo exposures for anxiety, and optional video feedback. Plans are individualized and measurable, with weekly practice goals and quick check-ins on what worked and what didn’t. For neurodivergent clients (ADHD/autism), supports are explicit, visual, and routine-based—aimed at effective, authentic communication, not masking. For youth, caregiver sessions align scripts, prompts, and reinforcement; school collaboration is added when helpful. Progress is tracked by real-world outcomes: more successful initiations, fewer misunderstandings and blowups, better follow-through, and stronger friendships/teams.
