COURSE DESCRIPTION

Many rules that govern our social interactions have changed as a result of the pandemic. Mask wearing compromises our ability to read facial expressions and social distancing is in stark contrast to common social exchanges used during pre-Covid times. Even entering a virtual meeting room (e.g., Zoom, Google) is different from entering a traditional classroom. This webinar will discuss how explicitly teaching problem-solving, flexible thinking, perspective-taking, and the hidden curriculum can help students with social communication (pragmatic language) deficits navigate this “new normal”.
