Conversation Club Social Skills (Ages 8–10)
Based on the Children’s Friendship Training (CFT) Curriculum, for children who may benefit from focused instruction on building conversational skills and ways to trade information.
CFT is an evidence- based social skills program (Frankel & Myatt, 2003) designed for kids ages 8–12. This group will focus on building conversational skills to help kids learn and practice two-way communication, trading information, entering and exiting group conversations. Each small group (6–8 kids) is led by a trained instructor and assistant, using portions of the CFT curriculum.
