Social-Emotional Learning Lesson 1: The Nervous System
The first step to teaching a communicator about healthy social-emotional behaviors is to teach them why we react to scenarios the way that we do. This is a simple and young-learner friendly way to teach how our nervous system and cognition work hand in hand to create our natural reactions. There is an emphasis on how all emotions are important, fight, flight, freeze reactions, and the concepts of the 'smart brain' vs 'emotional and survival brains'. This is the first lesson to a series of lessons that will be available soon here on Support the Spectrum!
