Presented By: 

Clark McKown, Ph.D. an Assistant Professor of Pediatrics and Behavioral 
Sciences at Rush University Medical Center and the Associate Executive Director 
of the Rush NeuroBehavioral Center. 

Description of Workshop: 
Come learn more about the ability to interact well with others, to make and keep friends, and to 
earn peers' acceptance are important to children's well-being. Compared to children who are 
accepted by peers and who have at least one good friend, children who are rejected by peers are 
at high risk for a number of problems. Children's social-emotional learning skill, including their 
ability to read nonverbal behavior, infer others' intentions, and engage in effective problem-
solving, is associated with peer acceptance. Dr. McKown will describe the skills children need to 
acquire to achieve social success. He will also describe factors that contribute to social problems, 
how to identify those problem areas, and what parents, clinicians, and educators can do to 
support the social development of all children
