Students in Developmental Psychology Lab will be assigned to work with another student in the middle or elementary school. This assignment is based on needs, not wants. Students will be a friend and support for a student that could use a role model and friendly face. Students will also be expected to write weekly journals, read articles and do responses weekly, and discuss strategies and observed growth among each other. Student participation is highly valuable to both mentor and mentee, but must be kept confidential due to privacy law.
The first few weeks students will be in the high school classroom learning about autism and preparing to meet their mentee. After they are assigned a buddy, we will meet to discuss and debrief any concerns or successes! All assignments are based on Google Classroom, and should be submitted there unless other arrangements are made with me.
