detailed listing

This self-advocacy and self-esteem program helps children gain a better understanding of their learning disability and/or ADHD, that they simply learn differently by providing explicit instruction in coping skills, understanding and interpreting body language and facial expressions. This program targets children who live with learning disabilities and students with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD); although an official diagnosis is not necessary. Through discussion, games, role playing and direct instruction in small groups, children learn about and build on their strengths, various coping skills and ways to interact successfully with others. We coach children how to fit in social situations with proper actions and reactions to develop their self-confidence; touching a variety of topics.
