Addressing Functional Behaviors
Social Skills
Social skills are the skills we use to communicate and interact with each other, both verbally and non-verbally, through gestures, body language and our personal appearance.
Cognitive Skills
Cognitive skills are the core skills your brain uses to think, read, learn, remember, reason, and pay attention.
Receptive Language Skills
Receptive language skills are the ability to understand and comprehend the spoken language that you hear or read.
Expressive Language Skills
Expressive language means the ability to express oneself - showing what it is that you want, being able to make choices, asking and answering questions, etc. This can be done verbally and non-verbally.
