Dr. Goleman also cites our Social Decision Making Program as one of the six research-validated pioneer programs that successfully build children's emotional intelligence.
The Social Decision Making and Problem Solving Program (SDM/PS), housed at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey-University Behavioral Health Care, is a nationally recognized program aimed at the promotion of emotional intelligence which enables children to pursue healthy life choices. The program, in partnership with Rutgers University and our nation's schools, has been teacher tested and research validated since 1979. SDM/PS aligns with state and national educational standards and the practice of these skills is easily infused into existing academic curricula. The program works well with general and special education children at the elementary and middle school levels.
