At Inside Out Learners, social decoding can be likened to breaking the code of human interaction. It is indeed a valuable skill for understanding how others communicate and experience the world. We draw inspiration from a variety of neurodivergent individuals, including Jennifer Cook O'Toole, Dr. Devon Price, Eric Garcia, Naoki Higashida, and numerous others. Using our unique curriculum design and supplementary materials that affirm neurodiversity, we develop captivating activities that learners find irresistible. These activities are designed to encourage exploration of various topics. Some examples include:

  • self-advocacy

  • making authentic social connections

  • recognizing our strengths

  • exploring the joys of our neurodivergence​

  • making sense of our emotions

  • starting, continuing & ending conversations

 

Our curriculum avoids traditional "social skills training" approaches that emphasize masking or conformity. Instead, it focuses on genuine understanding, effective communication strategies, and building authentic relationships while honoring neurodivergent communication styles.

Group dynamics, age ranges, and individual needs are an integral part of planning group sessions. Inside Out Learners currently offers small groups of sessions that run for 55 minutes per week. An intake interview with the learner will need to be administered before joining a group, which takes 30-45 minutes to complete. The intake interview fee is $135 and can be paid by cash, check, or invoice. Complete the contact form below to see if Inside Out Learners would be a good fit for you or your learner.
