SMART KIDS WITH SOCIAL DISABILITY
They Learn Social Skills but Practice—Where?
A Well Documented Problem
The Definition of Social Skills
Social skills is about relating to others
Different from you
Not the same as you
The Problem
The opportunity to do this is missing
Social skills without practice is like
Utensils without eating; Science without a lab
The Child’s Reality
They are aware of their difference
They learn to be uncomfortable
Sadly, they may get hurt if they speak
The Child’s Defense
They don’t advocate for themselves
They don’t know how
They are not sure they see the benefit
The Child’s Progress
They may get to college, but then drop out
They find a job, but may get fired
Their struggle to try begins to weaken
The Reason
No one knows how to speak with them
No one practices
Bright ideas are not explored
The Solution
Students need to talk to each other
About their differences
And the talents they bring to learning and work
