Upcoming Meetings:

Wed May 27^th – "Teaching Social Skills Across the Day"

10 am-12 by Katherine Johnson

In the Superintendants Conference Room, in the High School

Social skills are one of the keys to success for all children, especially those with special needs.  Improved social skills can open the doors to inclusion, community involvement, and friendship for a child.  Come to a 2-hour workshop on how you can help your child improve social competencies.  Topics include selecting social objectives, defining targeted skills, determining a teaching environment, selecting a method, and working toward generalization. Come hear tips for recess, lunch, play-dates, and social occasions and bring your questions for a Q&A at the end.  

Katherine is founder and director of Advances Learning Center. She has a

Master of Arts degree in Behavior Disorders and Applied Behavior Analysis from Columbia University Teachers College and is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst. She has taught in both private and public schools at pre-school and elementary levels and has provided educational consultation services to public schools and home programs.
