Social and emotional learning (SEL) is an integral part of education and human development. SEL is the process through which all young people and adults acquire and apply the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to develop healthy identities, manage emotions and achieve personal and collective goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain supportive relationships, and make responsible and caring decisions. Source: Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL) SEL Resources for Families Disruptions to our personal and professional lives, schedule changes, and school closings present unique challenges to individuals on the autism spectrum and their families. In these challenging times, we are sensitive to the needs of these individuals and their families. To help, we have compiled these resources aimed at reducing anxiety and restoring a sense of routine during the COVID-19 pandemic. New Yorkers can call the State's hotline at 1-844-863-9314 to get free emotional support, consultations and for referrals to a provider.
