Introducing The "BuddyUp Program" -- a social skills *Survival Program* for middle school students with Asperger's Syndrome.

The program will focus on social/cognitive skills development and performance in the areas of Self-Advocacy and Organizational Skills.   Facilitated group activities integrating such skills as perspective-taking, observation, and problem-solving will incorporate each child's strengths and interests to achieve a balance between skills mastered and those that need to be developed.

Students with prior foundational social skills instruction would be appropriate for this program.
