Welcome

Friends, I can not say enough about the need to cultivate friendships from the early years. To help their social skills so they can build friendships through out life. Friendships throughout school can be placed right into your IEP. CIRCLE OF FRIENDS. Please read up on this as it makes for a path of positive education experiences. Also do not be afraid to go into the school and educate during open house, parent conferences, offering a letter to parents the beginning of each year educating them about your child's PWS and how they can be a positive part of the year. Most people want to help. Most people when they are educated would not want to do anything to hurt your child's feelings. most parents are very thankful when they learn of other activities not food related shared for parties.

Having a circle of friends means that your child has a selection of friends who move throughout the school years with your child. They will be in the class your child is in each year. This builds a strong support team for your child. These children can be part of your IEP planning. They know your child in ways you don't. This is such a wonderful program.

Also it is so important to have your child be an active part of extra school activities. Teach them young how to seek out activities to join.
