**New to Outschool? Use our coupon for a $20 discount! ARILearnin20 ** This class supports children beginning to socialize who enjoy drawing, coloring, or building. It focuses on exploring play styles without behavior goals, accommodating different needs in very small classes. The teaching style emphasizes play without modifying behaviors, being strength-based and learner-directed. The class aims to enhance comfort in social settings and foster new interactions, welcoming accommodations for better accessibility. We are a Neuroaffirming Organization! We support learners with different needs and meet them where they are at. We are experienced scribes and enjoy exploring different approaches to writing and creating for each learner. We have found drawing our own pictures and sharing them gives the opportunity to play beside each other. We work towards goals of being more comfortable and feeling more secure in social settings, then create opportunities for new interaction. (Like Making Friends Groups by ARI Learning.) We welcome accommodations and are always working to create better accessibility in our classrooms. Please let us know your specific needs, and we will be happy to make changes to our learning plans. We hope to see you soon! As this is a social group that is learner led with no curriculum, videos will not be shared with families to protect learner privacy. Social classes satisfy BC’s curriculum/BC Ministry of Education for K–12 around communication studies through: acquiring and presenting information; focusing on intent and purpose in delivery; and connecting and engaging with others.

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.
