SELF-EMPOWERMENT

For Students with ADD/ADHD

"Allow the internal brain chemicals that relax, focus and turn on our attention
to be accessed and released naturally without drugs."

Relaxation, Guided Imagery, and Visualization Techniques

Imagine empowering your child with self-help techniques to
recognize internal feelings, release inner tension, and relax.

Even more, imagine your child learning how to
focus, ground and center energy.

Then see the look of empowerment in gaining a sense of
peace of mind and self-control.

When you know there is something that will help your child,
you know what you need to do.

"Taking the High Road: A Social Skills Group"

Solutions to Social Problems:
Reframing thinking for positive outcomes.

For children grades 1-3 ... 4-6 ... 7-9

"Positive social skills are the missing link to
a child's self-esteem, resiliency and future success."

Imagine your child being accepted, fitting in, making friends, saying and
doing what is appropriate, feeling confident and advocating positively
for whatever the need may be.
Secure your child's ability for learning and adjustment
both in and out of school and later in life.

Give your child the opportunity for developing acceptable social behavior.

As our children continue to sharpen the skills of reading, writing, and math for MCAS, more and more, parents and educators are seeing that competent social language skills are of equal importance for success in today's world. In fact, these skills may be the "missing link" to a child's self-esteem, resiliency and future success. With ever-increasing expectations, demands, challenges, and unfortunately, violence in our schools, it is critical that children learn how to communicate and solve problems with one another in a non-violent way. While most would agree as to the importance of communicating, feeling accepted, getting along, fitting in, and advocating positively for oneself, few of our children receive specific training in these social skills. These skills include making and keeping friends, communicating effectively, maintaining self-control, predicting social consequences, resisting peer pressure, maintaining self-esteem, and more. It is hoped that many children will develop these skills naturally as part of "just growing up" through imitation and trial & error. Yet according to statistics, about 25% of regular education students and over 75% of students with learning disabilities will require some type of interpersonal skills education for learning and adjustment both in and out of school as well as later in life. "Taking The High Road" is a six week social-skills group that does just that. Children will learn personal strategies that foster efficient and effective communication skills, critical thinking skills, self-awareness, personal responsibility and self-advocacy.

In short, this program will provide children with an opportunity to interact cooperatively with others in a small group setting. Imagine what this will do for your child. Secure your child's future starting NOW.

Six-week, hour-long sessions; call for scheduling.
