There are different things you can do to help student’s develop social and emotional skills. I have worked with special needs students for years as a paraprofessional. I have had the pleasure to work with all ages 6-19 years of age. However, it just depends on the student when it comes to what you will do for them. With developing social skills for the most part, I will use memory or a matching game. When school begins, I will start off with flash cards with all students’ names. Dealing with special need students they can sometimes have a hard time remembering things. I will also use journal writing, have the students take turns reading out loud, have students do daily greetings, give great responses. To help students with their emotional development skills I always have a stress ball because having special need students’ behaviors can happen. I will also teach my students how to use their words for emotional skills. My classroom will consist of calm down yoga, emotional volcano, and mood meter. This can be used with typical and atypical students. Comment as you see fit. Min 40 words or more

Some advice that I would provide parents who are struggling with the acceptance of a child with a health care need are to encourage parents to ask questions and express their emotions if they need to, be respectful of parent’s needs, offer to help, treat the student and parents normally, use good listening skills, tell the parents about their child’s strengths and be mindful about everything.
