Our goal is to help these students acquire new tools for: making
daily choices, facing the pressures of a negative environment, forming
relationships, and establishing communication with others. Social skills
instruction helps students learn the skills that are required to
successfully cope with these pressures and interact with others in socially
acceptable ways.
Our real success lies on peer-to-peer interaction as our students
