Social Skills 101 – $555* 1st – 5th grade June 6th – 29th Tuesdays & Thursdays 3:15-5:15

Students have the opportunity to develop appropriate social skills in a small group setting. They practice initiating and maintaining conversations, social problem-solving, turn-taking, game playing, perspective-taking, body language, self-monitoring, and much more.

This program is taught by our Speech-Language Pathologists.

Our students find the JOY in learningthrough direct, purposeful instruction

in a safe, supportive environment with peers who share similar needs.

Students learn to celebrate their areas of strength while gaining skills and strategies to support their areas of weakness. They return to their schools with a renewed sense of confidence and a stronger understanding of themselves as learners.

This is such a fun, positive experience for Jud. An all day, academic, month long

"camp" was a tough sell initially, but since the very first day Jud has been happy and

enthusiastic. Now he comes home full of fun stories every single day!
