Overview
Addressing social skills development among individuals dealing with mental health conditions or neurodevelopmental disorders is a significant challenge for cognitive neuroscience researchers – but Charisma Virtual Social Coaching is adding generative AI capabilities to streamline and scale up their innovative approach to social skills coaching.Traditional approaches often fail to engage participants in building real-world skills to help guide effective social interactions and mitigate negative feelings often associated with social skills challenges. Through role-playing scenarios, interactive exercises and real-time feedback from both clinicians and their virtual counterparts, Charisma creates a supportive and realistic environment for practicing and mastering effective social skills.“”
"Drawing from principles of cognitive neuroscience and social information processing models, Charisma offers a comprehensive curriculum designed to target specific social skill deficits while fostering generalization and real-world application."
