How We Do It?
BUILDING INTERPERSONAL SKILLS
For YarraMe School students, difficulties with pragmatics – interpreting and responding appropriately to social situations – is often an area of concern.
It’s important that students develop social skills as these skills are necessary in schools – for group work, interacting with teachers, developing friendships and academic development e.g. reading comprehension or verbal expression of ideas. An understanding of social skills brings with it development of expected behaviours, joint engagement, collaboration and self-regulation within group contexts (Sarapani et al. 2018).
At YarraMe, social-emotional programs and skill development are explicitly targeted and taught so that the student can learn how their behaviour affects themselves and others. Students also learn strategies to support ongoing self-regulation and social connectiveness.
