Greetings from Inclusion Teaming! I am one of the four student volunteers from Fairfield Prep that come here weekly. Right, now we reaching out to gather students with skill differences for our sessions. In the past weeks, we have been working on a mailing project, in order to find children with skill differences through local psychotherapists and psychiatrists. We are just finishing up the mailing project, and are now working on calling all of the therapists on our list. We are working hard on marketing right now, and cant wait for the beginning of the sessions.

Students with Typical Skills are Doing It!
Okay! This week we have had 35 students with typical skills sign onto our program. We are all going to work to get students with skill differences to join us. Students with skill differences who are referred by our students with typical skill will receive a $150 deduction on the fee! The positive energy and efforts of the students with typical skill is awesome! They will be reaching out to students with skill difference and telling them about Inclusion Teaming.

STUDENTS WITH TYPICAL SKILLS ARE THE BEST TEACHERS
We teach students with skill differences in all kinds of groups with peers just like themselves. Or we offer them helpers--such as buddies and mentors.
It is essential that we begin to understand that while we can teach certain skills, we have not yet been able to change the way a brain is wired. So while "helping" is good, we need to start "learning." There are many bright minds that go unrecognized until well after high school.
Many students with skill differences have a great deal to offer even though it may be difficult for them to navigate the typical social world. So let's begin to have groups with students who have typical skills who are willing to:
1. practice interacting with students with skill differences in a real work-like practice situation and
2. to learn directly from students with skill differences--understand how they perceive the world and how they can adjust their language for effective communication.

Clueless About the Guy Next to You?
Not a surprise! If you want an advantage for college entrance or a better chance in the workplace, learn how to communicate with those you find puzzling. If you "get them," then you will help all those around you who don't. You will have a leading position, because you will know how to include the ideas of other bright minds. Or you will learn how to self advocate for what you need to contribute your ideas. Either way, Inclusion Teaming will be a win for you.
