Yvonne has been running social groups for ND/NT kids on Outschool for 6 months. We noticed a need for very small classes and spaces where different styles of play can be shared. As a homeschooling mum to an ND child, I understand the need for social time and that it will look different for every child. I've been a Girl Guide Leader, a musician, an artist and instructor for many years. I have a B.Mus from McGill and have travelled widely. I'm always open to learning and growing and I believe curiosity is a critical life skill. Linda is an art teacher with many years experience with a wide variety of learners all over the world.
This class is designed to support learners who are new to socializing. Using a play beside me model, we draw on our paper or share the whiteboard to draw together. Gentle small group interaction reduces the anxiety around socializing.
Please remember to not be in the camera's view for these classes as per Outschool rules. If your child requires your assistance, please let us know and we can work with Outschool Safety towards an exception.
