All students deserve a positive school experience where they can reach their social and academic potential. However, this can prove difficult for students with challenges such as attention deficit, anxiety, or autism spectrum disorders, who may struggle daily with social situations. This manual provides everything educators need to support these students with their social skills in everyday situations, throughout their school years.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont face=\"Verdana\"\u003eThis program is designed to help any student with social challenges, no matter how subtle. For students without social challenges, it teaches tolerance, acceptance and understanding. The characteristics of successful social skills programs are described, with an emphasis on how FRIEND implements them through three key components: the Peer Sensitivity Curriculum, the FRIEND Lunch Program and the FRIEND Playground Program. These can be implemented individually or in any combination as a comprehensive program. Parents and family are offered information on working together with schools and implementing FRIEND strategies at home and in the community.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont face=\"Verdana\"\u003eEmphasizing peer sensitivity, education and a supportive environment, FRIEND is for any educator wanting to create an inclusive and safe atmosphere for students to learn social skill-building strategies.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont face=\"Verdana\"\u003eFormat Paperback | 224 pages\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont face=\"Verdana\"\u003eDimensions 152 x 226 x 16mm | 300g\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont face=\"Verdana\"\u003ePublication date 21 Oct 2019\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n","brand":"Jessica Kingsley Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51272797323547,"sku":"9781785926273","price":24.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0915\/4363\/4203\/files\/9781785926273.jpg?v=1769448561","url":"https:\/\/abcschoolsupplies.ie\/products\/the-friend-program","provider":"ABC School Supplies ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
