STARFISH scale
FREE workshop on 4/25!

We help neurodivergent kids and teens become socially competent, confident, and connected!

What we do:

 

* Support kids in learning how to create their ideal reputation

 

*Encourage kids to show up as their authentic selves

 

*Allow kids to make their own choices regarding which skills they would like to implement

 

*Teach all students to give each other helpful feedback

 

*Create lots of opportunities for kids to practice skills in an emotionally supportive environment

 

*Facilitate connections with other kids in the group

What we DON’T do:

 

*Use artificial rewards or consequences

 

*Require compliance

 

*Use words like ‘good’, ‘bad’, ‘right’, or ‘wrong’

 

*‘Fix’ kids

 

*Shame or blame kids

 

*Require apologies

 

*Encourage ‘masking’ (hiding of characteristics or symptoms in order to blend in)

 

*Expect students to act in a 'neurotypical' manner
