Building confidence and engagement one dragon at a time!
Critical core is a social skills program that utilizes a Table top Role playing game (similar to Dungeons and Dragons) to motivate participants to actively engage in social situations and to grow through their connections with others. This is a collaborative game in which players and the facilitator work together to create a story. It is a safe and supportive environment in which players are able to practice communicating, problem solving, and regulation as their characters progress through a series of challenges that will ultimately lead to them becoming heroes.
The overall goal of Critical Core is generalizable learning from fully-engaged play while respecting individuals and building relationships.
We encourage growth in the following areas:
- Increase regulation
- Increase collaboration
- Increase motor and cognitive planning
- Improve perspective taking
- Increase access to pretend play development for related skill building
