Motivated learners. meaningful outcomes.

Children with disabilities also deserve to be children and find joy and excitement in their learning experiences the way so many of their neurotypical peers do. Through a comprehensive assessment, EC-PBSL facilitators learn the learner to identify the most developmentally appropriate, functional, meaningful, and relevant social goals for that individual. By using the results of the assessment, facilitators are able to prioritize their time and efforts to target only the most socially significant goals, leading to the most meaningful outcomes for the individual learner being supported.

Mission Cognition’s Early Childhood Play Based Social Learning Program (EC-PBSL) is designed for preschool-2nd grade students with and without disabilities. The program emphasizes research based direct Instruction and play-based learning, while following learner motivation, embedding interests and preferences, and implementing evidence-based strategies to promote generalization of targeted social skills to the natural environment.

What’s inside?

The program targets more than 150 skills across 15 domains critical for social, emotional, behavioral wellness. Each domain area is broken down into component skills which are explicitly and systematically targeted for intervention and instruction within a series of core activities. Each core activity is directly aligned with specified social domain target areas and facilitated in a way that embeds instruction, practice and reinforcement of selected component skills within the context of play and learning. 

Core ACtivities

Core activities are designed to simulate games and learning activities the learner would come in contact with in the natural environment. This supports the probability of generalization, but also allows for more naturalistic intervention and instruction within a range of therapeutic and educational settings including clinics and classrooms.

This social emotional learning program is comprised of 58 + units which are theme based and may be completed 1 per day or extended over the course of an entire week if you are planning to implement in a program which provides daily instruction. Themes are based on stories to further establish and embrace the relationship between language, literacy, play and social behaviors. Learners may continue to utilize and benefit from the program for years, as each core activity within the units allows for high levels of differentiation. This means that the learner may come in contact with the same activity each year as that theme comes up, but the way in which it is facilitated and the way in which they engage differs as their skills and interests continue to develop and change.
