Sōsh - An App to Improve Social Skills

Sōsh - An App to Improve Social Skills | Leveling the playing field with apps | Scoop.it
From www.mysosh.com - December 22, 2011 5:34 PM

"Sosh is an approach to social skills based on a decade of work with children, adolescents, and young adults who struggle with social difficulties.

 

The Sosh framework divides social functioning into five areas essential to social skills development and success: Relate (Connect with Others), Relax (Reduce Stress), Regulate (Manage Behaviors), Reason (Think it Through) and Recognize (Understand Feelings). These "5R's" serve as a road map for individuals who want to be social, but may have faced obstacles in the past, and also serve as a guide for parents, teachers, and therapists hoping to encourage and assist individuals with their social goals.

 

Over 60 screens of information, strategies,
and exercises to improve social skills."
