Winter Term Course Description

Friendship Builders

The fall term focused on friendship starters and this course will build upon the lessons learned in the fall term. Friendship builders is a course designed to help participants put together the instrumental skills needed to continue building friendships with peers. Students will learn about how to get to know others, giving and receiving compliments, and sharing and taking turns. Students will be supported in defining and identifying boundaries and personal space. Students will also explore how it's okay to have differences with friends, as well as it being okay when a friend says “no”. By the end of this course, students will be equipped with their own set of tools on how to maintain a healthy friendship with others as well as use these skills in everyday social situations. Lessons will include manipulatives, examples, games, and conversational topics to build understanding on the content taught. After each lesson, students will have the opportunity to apply their learning in a real life setting with short outings to community events and places, and games.

Attendance in the previous term is not necessary to attend the current term. We will work to make sure all students have an understanding of previous topics to ensure successful completion of each lesson.

The tuition cost for this course is $1,400 for the entire term, which includes any admission fees for the community outings. 1:1 support is billed at $60/hour and is in addition to the term tuition.
