My students are young adults with developmental disabilities, ages 18-22 who are working on academics, activities of daily living (ADLs), and vocational skills in the Young Adult Program. Within these areas, my students work towards developing and maintaining social skills so they can be more a part of their community.
They are a joy to be around everyday because they are honest, open to learning all the time, and accepting of others no matter their age, race, disability, or sexual orientation.
My Project
Providing my students with school supplies that many of them cannot afford will help them gather and organize the necessary information related to developing healthy relationships with others.
My students will use these supplies to compile curriculum and modified materials related to developing and maintaining peer friendships, both platonic and romantic, in addition to advocating for themselves.
I will be utilizing the Healthy Relationships Curriculum, particularly the self-advocacy/social language portion to teach my students about social boundaries, peer dynamics, and moving beyond just being classmates. These areas of social language are critical for my young adult students to maintain relationships with others.
