There has been plenty of exciting things to do at ECDP to start off Term 2!

We have been working towards building social awareness, taking turns, developing our play skills and expanding our play repertoire.

Social Skills form an integral part of what we do at ECDP.

They are a critical element to helping students succeed socially, emotionally, personally, and even academically.

Social Skills are what we use every day to interact and communicate with others. They include verbal and non-verbal communication, such as speech, gesture, facial expression and body language. They are the skills and behaviours that help kids join in conversations, collaborate with peers, develop lasting friendships, self-advocate when they need help, and so much more.

As adults, the biggest impact we can have to help kids learn social skills at any age, is to teach them!
