Facilitators are qualified, trained, certified, and/or licensed in behavioral science and delivering training to teens and adults. Both developed and implemented programming for Simply Social, LLC, which was dissolved. All procedures and methodologies used are considered evidence based practice in behavioral and cognitive supports and interventions. Participants are engaged with and learn the material, observe and provide feedback on live and video models, provided real-time feedback and coaching, and pre and post data is collected regularly. Programs are individualized based on input from participants, parents (for teens), facilitator observations, and data collected.
