Skill Builders Club Clara S Kenny

Welcome to Skill Builders Club, the easy-to-implement program for parents, teachers, and clinicians that brings children together to enhance their social communication skills! Skill Builders Club is a social skills program designed for children, where "club members" take part in collaborative play activities that have been developed using the concepts of LEGO(R)-based therapy and Applied Behavior Analysis. It is a social skills program based around building LEGO(R) models collaboratively in groups. The primary goal of the program is to help club members to work on social interaction skills in a fun and motivating setting. This toolkit provides you with everything you will need to facilitate a Skill Builders Club meeting but the LEGO(R) bricks! We have included instructions, information on reinforcement strategies, tips and tricks, data sheets, visuals, and other reproducible materials. Dr. Kenny, BCBA, founder and clinical director of Behavior Backup(R) LLC., received her doctorate from Johns Hopkins University, focusing her studies on training parents and teachers on challenging behavior and ABA, and she has trained at Cambridge University directly with members of the LEGO(R)-based therapy research team.
