Actions Speak Louder than Words: learning to interpret body language and read social cues
August 31, 2023 @ 4:30 pm - 5:30 pm
Did you know that up to 90% of communication is non-verbal? For people who find it challenging to read social cues, this can be a daunting statistic. How can you communicate with others if you have a hard time understanding and interpreting body language?
For many autistics, understanding subtle social cues doesn’t come naturally. But that doesn’t mean you have to be left out of social situations, there are many clever ways to learn these skills.
In this fun and engaging session, attendees will explore some of the most important non-verbal cues and learn to identify and interpret basic body language that will help with social and communication skills. Strategies and techniques used will provide a foundation on which they can build and practice reading and interpreting what others are saying through their body language.
It will also help them to be more aware of their own body language, and how others are responding to the non verbal messages they are sending.
Join us Thursday, August 31 from 4:30 – 5:30 p.m.
