Students will learn about social paradigms: what are neurotypical versus neurodivergent norms? They’ll become skilled at evaluating social situations and determining what serves them in that situation! As their understanding increases, so does their sense of belonging. They gain confidence and increase their abilities in self-advocacy.

Class covers handling bullying, joining groups (both neurotypical and neurodivergent), dealing with authority, and evaluating social hierarchies, as well as specific topics requested by families.

The emphasis for students is on uncovering their goals and determining ways to accomplish them without social burnout. The meta-goal of these classes is for students to experience a warm and inclusive community. This is not achieved through artificially forcing student interactions; rather, relationships unfold over time as trust is built.

This class is for families who are deeply committed to affirming their child and unpacking the world around them. It is NOT for families who are hoping we will shame their kids into “just acting normal.” It’s not therapy, and it’s not a manners class.

Class is for students who are aware they are neurodivergent and are largely self-regulated. These students typically realize there is something different about themselves– I start with fundamental affirmation, and then offer insight into the framework that neurotypicals are using.

Class structure: We’ll start with a Social Coaching presentation (and snack time!) and then move to the class topic: either hand building pottery or DnD. Social reflections from the presentation will be gently interwoven into the class as student interactions are observed, or as students open up about their own communities. Initially, this will feel like an after school class, but over the semester, students will be led in creating an inclusive community.
