SpanishAt The Maddux School, we believe that learning is more than academics—it’s about growing into confident, compassionate individuals. That’s why Social Learning is woven into the fabric of every school day, every classroom, and every subject.
What Is Social Learning?
Social Learning is the foundation for developing self-confidence, academic success, and positive relationships. It helps students build essential life skills such as:
- Communicating effectively
- Playing cooperatively with peers
- Understanding others’ perspectives
- Practicing flexibility and responsibility
How We Teach It
Each classroom team includes a Social Learning Coordinator, Speech-Language Pathologist, and Occupational Therapist who collaborate to design and implement developmentally appropriate activities. These activities are inspired by evidence-based programs like:
- Social Thinking®
- Unstuck and On Target®
“Social Learning is not a separate subject—it’s a way of life at Maddux.”

From Classroom to Home
Social Learning is reinforced throughout the day in both small and large group settings. Students receive direct instruction, practice using learned scripts, and are supported in applying skills independently.
To strengthen the home-school connection, classroom teams regularly share the skills being targeted so families can use the same strategies at home.
“My child has learned how to express themselves and connect with others in ways I never imagined.” – Maddux Parent
