Welcome to Neurodivergent Social and Emotional Learning! This course is a personalized, ongoing class designed to foster a supportive and empowering environment for neurodivergent learners. Lessons use a strength-based approach to equip learners with tools to help them navigate challenges and grow in autonomy, confidence, and self-esteem. This course covers a wide range of age-appropriate social-emotional skills, including self-advocacy, self-management, social awareness, self-awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making. As in all of my private classes, learning goals are tailored to the individual needs of the learner. All brains are welcome. Please reach out to me if you have any questions or to request a different time for this course.

Note: Outschool does not support any classes that offer a medical service. This course is educational and should not replace or substitute for any form of therapy, counseling, or mental health treatment. Social-emotional learning (SEL) is not therapeutic, and this course does not focus on learners sharing personal feelings or experiences. This private course is tailored to the learner's developmental level, needs, and learning style. Depending on the age of the learner puppets, games, slides, narratives, and/or discussion may be used to teach the material.
