We have started putting projects on our Project pages, above.
One of the differences between the Summer program and the School Year program is the length and complexity of the projects we create. You may view earlier project by clicking here.
The first couple of projects are pretty standard. We assign nicknames, find out what the members wish to earn, and also what behaviors they want to work on changing.
Subsequent projects will are typically shorter for the School Year groups. Meeting just twice a month is great for working on social behaviors because we have the members for 2.5 hours each time. But it is difficult to carry a project over more than two sessions; they lose momentum. In contrast, when we have the kids or teens for 4-5 hours 2-3 times per week in the summer, we can easily spent several hours and complete a project within the scope of one week.
The main benefit of all projects is the level of group cohesion and productivity that occurs. As this site develops further, we will explain some of the social, pragmatic, and executive functioning elements that are worked on during this process.
