Social Skills Program

Join us this spring for our weekend Friendship Group!

 

Stratford Friends is excited to offer a Sunday Friendship Group for students in grades Pre-K through 1st grade! The 5-week program focuses on providing students with the tools they need to improve participation during social interactions.

 

The program is ideal for learners who struggle to make and maintain friendships, have difficulty participating in structured and unstructured play activities, struggle to initiate play with peers, and have trouble participating in reciprocal interactions with peers. The program also supports young learners who struggle to regulate behavioral responses to non-preferred activities/tasks, unexpected changes, following the group plan, and other skills related to meeting expectations that are necessary for group activities.

 

The group format embeds planned and natural opportunities for students to practice learned skills. During sessions, students have the opportunity to make meaningful selections of activities to engage in based on their preferences. Students also participate in structured, teacher-led activities to improve participation in structured learning environments.

 

Co-facilitated by a Special Education Teacher and Licensed Behavior Therapist, the friendship group skillfully delivers social skills instruction in a fun and engaging environment!
