This will require stimulus control by the PSR worker themselves, desensitization to upsetting situations and helping the child overcome any social anxiety, can help with social skills. Behavioral approach techniques used with social interactions can be based on operant conditioning. Reinforcement, punishment, and extinction can lead the child to change negative social behaviors into more acceptable, positive, and desired social behaviors (Kosslyn, S. M., & Rossenberg, 2006). Teaching the child the appropriate response to a social situation would be the main point of the behavioral approach. Once your child has ongoing positive social interactions, he or she will gain natural positive reinforcement (friends, playdates, birthday invitations, etc.). Social stories, also known as observational learning, can be very helpful in teaching a child appropriate ways to approach social situations (Kosslyn, S. M., & Rossenberg, 2006). This is the time when a child can observe other social interactions without being in that situation and can see the way others respond appropriately, this would then teach him to repeat that behavior and give the desired positive social effect.
