When I notice outliers and social isolates, it is often on the playground or in the cafeteria. Being an elementary school, we are fortunate that students still have a sense of innocence to them. Given that we have an autism program that is housed at Eaton, you would more than likely spot a student on the autism spectrum that could be identified as an outlier or social isolate given the nature of their disability. Our autism teachers work to support those students that are more withdrawn during the unstructured times of the school day (lunch and recess) in order to model and enhance social interaction between the students with autism and their peers.
