Lesson Plan

Healthy Connections Lesson Plan

Students will identify and describe characteristics of healthy versus unhealthy relationships, and practice setting boundaries, respect, and clear communication through discussion and a hands-on sorting activity.

Understanding healthy relationship skills helps students with autism recognize respect, set personal boundaries, and build positive friendships, supporting social growth and emotional well-being.
