Social differences may result from one of several disorders such as autism spectrum disorder, nonverbal learning disorder, or attention deficit disorder. The nature of the social difference is not the same in each of these disorders, but the effects of social differences are profound. Many students with social differences, or non-traditional social skills, have average to superior intelligence.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THESE STUDENTS:
1. They might not obtain school services because they are at grade level or above academically.
2. They are our most targeted youth for bullying.
3. They are grouped with students at all levels of intellect and all levels of disability if given social skills training.
4. During their 13 years of education, they have limited opportunity to practice social exchange about ideas.
5. They are often not knowledgeable about their social diifference or its underlying disorder, and they are often not prepared with advocacy skills they need for college and employment.
Inclusion Teaming invites you to join our effort to provide community platforms for intellectual engagement where students with non-traditional social skills and those with traditional social skills learn from one another. Both groups of students gain team skills for our rising world of diverse communicators. They have fun, and confidence builds in discussions on both sides! Students with non-traditional social skills obtain paid leadership jobs as they become available.
