Friendships

It can be hard for people with special needs to make and keep friends. If you get them involved with activities they like. This way they can meet other people with there same interests. Like for example I got involved with varsity soccer and every year the seniors that graduate it becomes harder and harder to say goodbye. The way to tell your child is to walk up to the person they want to meet and say hi and say there name. Then introduce them to water cooler talk which means topics that are easy to talk about. This could include the weather if they have any thing in common they could also talk about that. Water cooler talk can be about the news or if they have free time in class they can talk about what they learned that day.
