» Creating Inclusive Communities: The Friend 2 Friend Model
Principles and Practices of the Friend 2 Friend Model
Presented by Heather McCracken
Seminar Description
The purpose of this session is to illustrate the principles and practices of the Friend 2 Friend model which is designed to address the social, play and friendships needs of children on the autism spectrum. The F2F model draws upon best practices to support the inclusion of children with ASD and related social communication disorders in schools and other community settings.
Participants will learn the importance of friendships for children with autism, and receive practical tips and suggestions on supporting children to build mutual friendships and establishing inclusive classrooms and community environments. Using video, overheads, stories and personal experiences, we will illustrate how to promote acceptance, understanding, friendships and play skills between children on the autism spectrum and their typically developing peers and siblings.
