What do children experience in the Art of Friendship social skills program?
Children experience a strength based and success-oriented small group experience. Children feel safe – physically and emotionally – so that even the most anxious or reluctant group member can grow comfortable. Existing strengths are celebrated – we believe that children grow from their strengths and interests. Therefore, activities are typically based around children’s interests. We carefully assess each child’s needs and level of functioning and place children in groups with children with similar areas of need, level of functioning and development. The groups for 5-10 year olds are structured around various art activities and games that support existing strengths, and gently guide children into closer contact and collaboration with peers. Children can earn chips that they trade in for prizes to motivate and reward them for repeating and practicing pro-social behaviors. Most importantly, children experience fun and success with other kids!The structure of the middle school and teenage
