Tween Social Skills
7th-8th Grades
The middle school years are socially tough for everybody, but especially for those with learning or social differences. This is the time self-consciousness reaches full-tilt levels, emotions run high, and relationships are tested daily. Our tween social skills classes help bring it all into perspective with plenty of reinforcement around a strong sense of self and personal awareness. We demystify the how’s and why’s of fitting in (including social media) making sure we know how to cope with rejection, embarrassment, making mistakes and being appropriately assertive to stick up for ourselves.
After school social skills - Focus on making and keeping friends
Classes are curriculum-based, staffed by 1 teacher and 1 assistant and last 75 minutes. Maximum class size is 6 students. Students practice their skills during monthly community outings.
