    This webinar will provide a detailed breakdown of several cases of the integration of social skills instruction into daily interactions of justice professionals with their clients and colleagues.  After a brief review of recommended approaches to helping people learn how to successfully navigate the social expectations of the criminal justice environment, the webinar will model several cases of doing so.  The cases will present all levels of the process from initial evaluation of social skills needs, planning, and execution of the teaching with the client.  Case studies will represent a variety of professional-client relationships and settings.
