Kid & Teen Social Play Group [Fall 2023]

In this course, we will help kids and teens learn social skills that include:  communication, problem solving, perspective taking and teamwork.  They will also learn appropriate social interactions such as making requests, initiating interactions, sharing, exercising give and take (reciprocity), and turn taking.  It is a great way of motivating them to learn and to implement all the skills that working together needs.  Besides having fun, social skills help them in school and in life to develop a sense of self and positive social-emotional skills in their environment, be able to communicate, handle their emotions, show respect, and build friendships which can help them to do better in life, in the classroom and in the community.

Ms. Lyn will be the instructor again of the course.  She is currently an Instructional Assistant in training students from all disability categories including those with severe emotional behavioral disabilities for 12+ years.  She has an ABA background for more than six years and she is also one of the teachers of FCSN’s After School Program for four years.  Her passion and professional experiences in working with students will contribute to the goals of providing students with a safe and positive learning environment.
