“She sits alone every day in the
cafeteria.” “His
behavior annoys the other kids and no one wants to have him in their
group.”
“She can’t carry on a
conversation.”
Sound familiar? The desire to fit in
and belong is universal, and at no time is this more evident than during
the middle and
high school years. Kids with
conditions such as Asperger Syndrome, attention deficit disorder,
learning disabilities, behavior disorders, as well as English language
learners, often face even greater social challenges, resulting in
feelings of isolation. Not only are they often ignored by peers, many
are the object of teasing and even bullying. In addition, their social
isolation prevents them from engaging in the numerous social
interactions needed to become socially proficient.
With Open Arms: Creating School
Communities of Support for Socially Challenged Kids
provides practical, easy-to-use techniques for even the busiest school
personnel. Using familiar case studies in an easy-to-read format, this
manual provides step-by-step instructions for how to implement Circles
of Friends, participation in extracurricular activities, and
professional Learning Teams to create both accepting peers and staff.
Written by a teacher “in the trenches,” the book includes reproducible
worksheets, Learning Team and Book Club study guides, Circle meeting
forms and activities, charts, and checklists … everything you need to
create your own supportive community for the kids you care about.
