The importance of a social mentor

3:48 pm | Posted by Repploy ASD Services | | Edit Post
What is a social mentor I hear you ask ? Why do you need one ?

Repploy are helping individuals on the Autism spectrum to navigate and unpack the mysteries surrounding the " social norms"

By utilizing guided participation and interaction allows the individual to recognize, understand and learn the tools required to anticipate social, life scenarios and situations.
Through providing that " third party " experience we have discovered  that most asd individuals respond and embrace the thousands of learning experiences they have previously with drawn from.

By incorporating guided participation with the art of flexible thinking  allows the individual to experience " a learn as you go" method, whilst establishing workable processes to achieve  and accomplish in everyday life situations and scenarios.

Remember 
"Tell me and I forget
 Teach me and I'll remember 
 Involve me and I learn "
