2012-2013
Harbour Way Social Skills Coaching Classes
Social skills coaching clases are offered at both The Harbour School at Annapolis and at Baltimore (Owings Mills). These classes focus on making and keeping friends and managing social situations. Coaching groups are available for participants ages 8 to 16 and are a great way to practice social skills in a a safe, nuturing environment.This program is designed to assist participants with developing the skills they need to be successful untilizing a "coaching" approach. Just like learning a sport, social skills coaching allows students to practice the smaller skills need to be successful as each participant becomes linked into the more complex "social game". Classes will be held in both Annapolis and Baltimore.
Harbour Way Sibling Support Group
Siblings of children with special needs often have special needs themselves; their sister or brother with special needs will get a bigger share of the attention. The Sibling Support Group will give siblings a chance to talk about the positive aspects of living with a sibling with a disability. The support group will also provide a safe and supportive environment in which to talk about the difficult feelings that may be experienced by a sibling of a child with a disability. Problem solving and self-awareness skills will be discussed, with a focus on interpersonal skill building, imparting information and healing. Classes will be held in both Annapolis and Baltimore.
