Group & Social Skills

Social skills development is the deliberate focus of lesson and activity planning for this age group. While academic content and school skills are taught on a daily basis, they serve as vehicles for increasing the important skills that result from intentional social skills education:

• Better communication with others 
• Problem-solving in social situations
• Self-awareness
• Self-advocacy
• Independence & personal responsibility
• Managing one’s own emotions and reactions
• Reading verbal and non-verbal social cues.
• Practicing manners 
• Respecting Boundaries

In short, we work on the skills that can only be learned in a group setting to help kids grow into happy, healthy, productive citizens.
