Social Communication Workshop: Handling Disagreements

May 6 @ 6:00 pm 7:30 pm

Do you find it difficult to communicate when someone disagrees with you? Do you struggle to know how to respond in moments of tension and conflict?

We have updated and improved our “Handling Disagreements” workshop to provide Autistic and neurodivergent individuals with opportunities to reflect on the causes of disagreements, and to develop tools to effectively address disagreements when they happen.

In this session, you will have the opportunity to:

  • Learn the difference between disagreement and conflict through realistic, scenario-based examples
  • Brainstorm with others the role emotion plays in disagreements and conflict
  • Explore practical strategies for resolving disagreements
  • Reflect on and measure your confidence at the beginning and end of the workshop

Wednesday, May 6
6:00 – 7:30 p.m.
In-person at The Ability Hub (300, 3820 24 Ave NW)
There is no cost to attend

This workshop is designed to provide Autistic and neurodivergent individuals with opportunities to learn and practice a variety of social communication skills in a safe and welcoming setting. Participants will be provided with information, tips, and strategies that they can choose to apply common day-to-day social situations.
