Are Social Skills Groups Designed For Success?: Student Success Beyond Epectation Podcast Ep 53

If you’re looking for more information and fresh ideas on how to improve outcomes for students who are attending social skills sessions within the school setting than this episode is for you. Dr. Karen discusses how to maximize what is taught during these sessions. We also talk about how to support students in this area of growth so students can generalize the skills being practiced during their sessions at home and in school. About Dr. Karen: Dr. Karen Dudek-Brannan is the founder and CEO of Dr. Karen, LLC, a company focused on empowering educators to support language, literacy, executive functioning, and cognitive wellness. She currently offers online professional development focused on helping K-12 therapists (SLPs, psychologists, social workers, and other service providers) develop programs and services that support students in the areas of language, literacy, and executive functioning.
