PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: Children with Autism and ADHD often report that unstructured times like lunch, recess, transitions between activities, and waiting periods to be anxiety-provoking and socially challenging. They may feel shy or anxious and withdraw, fumble awkwardly, or behave impulsively and sometimes annoy others or get in trouble. It's HARD to engage in the neurotypical world with all its unwritten expectations, relaxed rules, and less adult supervision and guidance. The solution? Let’s reframe these gaps in structure as social opportunities to Get Attention Positively (GAP Time). We will form a plan of action with a set of behavior guidelines and use play and conversation skills to make positive social connections.
