The Importance of Socio-Emotional Learning

Socio-emotional learning (SEL) is crucial for neurodivergent individuals, particularly students, because it addresses their unique emotional and social needs. Many gifted students experience social challenges, as they might feel like they missed out on learning how to engage with peers. Understanding emotional expression and social interactions can not only help them navigate friendships but also improve their overall well-being. By equipping educators and parents with tools to foster kindness and empathy in neurodivergent learners, SEL creates an environment conducive to fun and meaningful learning experiences.
