With the abundance of choice and opportunity in the world these days, many children struggle to know when they \u2018should\u2019 or \u2018should not\u2019 do something they may be asked to do, from the caregivers in their lives. Add to this, the desire for things to be \u2018just the way they want them to be\u2019 – this can significantly impact family and peer relations. Learning to listen and learning to tolerate (cope) when things don\u2019t go \u2018their way\u2019 is critical for getting along with others and developing meaningful relationships with important people in their lives. This program helps children learn to listen, to choose more desirable ways of interacting, and to tolerate when things don\u2019t go \u201ctheir way\u201d using individualized and systematic teaching and reinforcement procedures. Learning to tolerate sensory experiences such as, for example, brushing teeth, going to the dentist, wearing shoes-clothing items, wearing a mask, drinking water or food textures are important skills for overall health and wellness. The program will approach these sensitivities gradually and systematically to help your child achieve the skills in a safe, reinforcing and comfortable manner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","lpm_province":[26],"lpm_need":[100,48],"lpm_journey":[40],"lpm_service_type":[56],"lpm_language":[44],"lpm_keyword":[7396,8021],"class_list":["post-34757","lpm_program","type-lpm_program","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\n
