South Miami Senior High School

DECEMBER 2007

December 2007 is a month long of celebration and learning. In an effort to help my students generalize skills, we participated in a holiday social that included most of our self-contained units in our school (We have eight). It was a great challenge to help my students with autism transition into a different environment and socialize with a different group of people. We had so much fun, and I was very proud of my students' appropriate behaviors! They were "the life of the party". Some skills specifically targeted for this activity were: Tolerance of proximity to others, self-regulation, impulse control, communication, and displaying appropriate pro-social behavioral skills. We had a great time!!!
