The Circles Concept: Social Competence in Special Education
Abstract:This is a teaching exercise to help developmentally disabled students identify and classify different levels of social acquaintance. A simple floor mat of colored circles can help intellectually impaired students distinguish blue hug intimate friends from yellow handshake and orange wave acquaintances. This program could also be adapted for younger, grade school age children for child safety education.
