What are social skills? Skills and strategies needed by teens and adults that help with understanding communication and social dynamics to navigate the social world of home and school. Students will be exposed to concepts and techniques of Social Thinking from Michelle Garcia Winner as well as the Zones of Regulation by Leah M. Kuypers.
Welcome to Social Skills, you are now a young adult. At SAHS, you will encounter a new set of challenging freedoms and responsibilities.
As you may already be aware, you are participating in a special education class. This program serves students who have an individual education plan and qualify for special education services in the area of speech and language. Social Skills is a sanctuary for learning of practical strategies to encourage social thinking and organization, Zones of Regulation, Hidden Rules, Communication Skills, Support Tools, Perspective Taking, Verbal and Nonverbal Language, Emotions, and Problem Solving. A positive attitude and the ability to choose wisely will lead you to success. Conflicts and personal challenges can be very distracting, and should therefore be handled outside of class time. Please bring the following necessary materials: three ring binder, pencil(s), lined paper, and student planner. Also remember the following guidelines for classroom behaviors and expectations refer to the Student Responsibility Sheet and High School Student Handbook.
