926 (FOU) Social Symbolism Grades 9, 10, 11, 12
Prerequisite: None Credit to be arranged
This Social/Pragmatic Class has been developed to be a full-year pass/fail course offered daily at the high school level and taught by a speech-language pathologist. The purpose of this class is to provide students who have been identified with weaknesses in social/pragmatic skills the opportunity to develop social competencies and generalize these skills outside of their classrooms. This class will prepare students to follow unwritten social rules of their environment, to use expected social skills in order to have positive interactions with their communication partners, to navigate their social environment, and to develop problem solving and self-advocacy skills.
