Emotion Based Social Skills Training 

 

Facilitator Training for Children with High Functioning Autism and Asperger’s Syndrome will be held on 9th and 10th October 2014. See this webpage for more information.

"Emotion-based Social Skills Training" (EBSST) is an innovative mental health promotion program developed at the Children’s Hospital at Westmead for children with High Functioning Autism and Asperger’s Syndrome, aged 8 to 12 years, their parents and teachers.

EBSST has been researched since 2004 and evaluated in over 300 Department of Education and Communities NSW public schools. Findings indicate improvements in children’s social and emotional skills up to 6 months after intervention, compared with children not receiving EBSST.
