We create tools to help children promote positive peer relationships.
The 3-C Institute for Social Development is a research company that specializes in the creation and delivery of tools for parents and professionals alike to promote positive peer relationships for children of various age groups. As a result of our research, 3-C ISD develops products which support clinicians, schools and parents use to help kids develop solid social coping skills.
Some of our products include the S.S.GRIN series of Social-Emotional learning tools for children to learn and practice basic social skills. S.S.GRIN helps kids develop positive character traits such as respect, responsibility and empathy. S.S.GRIN takes the science of helping children basic behavioral and cognitive skills and brings it alive with the art of modern imagination.
Located with our sister company 3-C Family Services, a clinical practice covering a broad array of disciplines in Cary, North Carolina, both companies benefit from the harmonious collaboration between the science and practice of psychology, implementing the Boulder model as an organization. We bring together the art and science of behavioral psychology to promote positive peer relationships.
