Social Skills: Maintaining/Ending Conversations and Handling Disagreements

Silvia Gil, M.S.Ed. presents a training for autistic adults about how to maintain and end conversations as well as handling disagreements. This is the second in a 4-part training series from the Daniel Jordan Fiddle Foundation Transition and Adult Programs at UM-NSU CARD designed to introduce autistic adults to methods for making friends and interacting with individuals in a social situation. Silvia Gil is a PEERS tm Certified Instructor, and this training presents information from the research-based PEERS tm social skills program. This is not intended to replace participation in a full-length PEERS tm group but is an introduction to these helpful strategies.
