What makes Communication Works (CW) therapy different from programs of other organizations?
While many other organizations aim to improve social skills, Communication Works believes in a deeper approach that includes teaching and developing the critical thought processes that underpin all social interactions. As Lao Tzu said, “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.” We believe that if a person learns how to think about thinking and how to be social in his play, classroom, home, job, and community, the social skills he develops will serve him in all environments. In addition, we emphasize the role of the parent/caregiver/partner as a crucial and integral part of our approach. This involvement is a key factor in a client being able to carry over his new skills to all situations.
