Give your child the benefit of extra practice making friends and meeting new people this summer at The Joy School! This program is designed to give children an opportunity to learn and develop appropriate social skills in a small group setting. Classes will focus on initiating conversations, keeping conversations going, social problem solving, turn-taking, game playing, perspective taking, body language, self-monitoring and much more. The concept of social thinking will be introduced and explained through the use of Michelle Garcia Winner’s Super Flex curriculum.  Each week, we will discuss the “hidden rules” and expectations associated with various social settings (i.e. book stores, restaurants, museums…).  In order to facilitate carry-over of learned skills, students will participate in weekly field trips to these places.  This 4-week course will be directed by our two Speech-Language Pathologists, Meredith Hibbetts and Beth Harris, and will meet from 1:00-3:00 PM Monday-Thursday. See you this summer!
