Cómo sobrevivir y prosperar: campamento de secundaria y preparatoria para preadolescentes neurodivergentes

Grades 6-8 can be tough especially for autistic teens as well as teens with ADHD, anxiety, or other learning differences.  

The goal of this camp is to:

*Make that transition a little easier for students who are new to the middle grade experience.
* Give experienced middle schoolers, the opportunity to share their experiences. 
*Help all students navigating middle school and junior high in person to develop a concrete plan for a successful school year.

Day 1:  

Learners will:

*Compare the middle grade experience to that of elementary school.
*Have the opportunity to ask questions and share what works as a community of beginning and returning middle grade students.
*Start developing a plan for making friends and navigating the logistics of the junior high and middle school experience.

Day 2:  

Learners will:

* Add to their plan by discussing organizational strategies for completing and turning in assignments.
* Learn about the value of reading a junior high- middle school class syllabus, and discuss how each teacher may have different routines and expectations.
*Discuss where to seek support and how to work with peers in group projects and other class settings.
*Explore how to use school resources and self advocacy to be more comfortable and successful at school.

Students are encouraged to record their ideas in the Middle School success guide either in PDF  or Google Doc form so they leave class with a concrete plan for a successful school year.
