Shawn’s program is the first one to utilize sketch comedy to teach social skills, and has been called a “pioneer” within her field. However, she knows that kids and teens respond much better to humor and actually understand what they are learning. It really does seem to be true that “A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down!”
Shawn is available to speak to professionals who work with populations in education and mental health. In her presentations, Shawn has an interactive style as participants can practice the activities they will re-use with their clients, and promises that the workshop will be fun!
