SNAP to Middle School provides students a safe opportunity to rehearse these skills prior to middle school entry.

- Can work in small groups with peers
- Can ask and answer questions in groups
- Can be redirected when their attention shifts
- Can transition away from a preferred activity
Please note: Students who require constant, individual adult support, or require a significant amount of movement or sensory stimulation to be productive, should explore our EF Coaching Program for individual students.
