The purpose of this workshop is to describe the relationship between thinking or conceptualizing and learning to behave. Language function or thinking is the basis for social behavior. We will walk participants through different ways to perceive behavior, how to decide what is acceptable behavior, and how to use specific methods to help individuals learn to socially behave in all areas of their lives including home, community, and the workplace regardless of how impacted they might be cognitively.

Learning Objectives:

  • Participants will be able to describe the relationship between thinking or conceptualizing and learning to behave.
  • Participants will be able to describe how the various language levels cognitively relate to social perspectives.
  • Participants will develop an emerging awareness of how to use language to assign pro-social meaning to behavior to help change a person’s perspective.
