Counselor’s Corner

In guidance this month we will be discussing being a Superflex superhero! Superflex is a social thinking curriculum by Stephanie Madrigal and Michelle Garcia Winner. They describe this hero as someone who is totally flexible, trying to figure out other people’s wants and needs to keep other people calm while also getting his/her turn to play and to speak as well. He/she is a great problem solver and can think of many different solutions to one problem. For more information regarding the Superflex curriculum please visit the social thinking website.
