UC|CSU Collaborative for Neuroscience, Diversity, and Learning Spring 2025 Webinar Series: Recess for All: Promoting Social and Emotional Growth Through Evidence-Based Interventions 

California’s recent legislation protecting recess for all children marks a crucial step in promoting children’s health and well-being. Recess is more than just a break from academics — it is a vital opportunity for social and emotional development, self-regulation, and peer relations. For children with disabilities, recess is as important as classroom learning, providing a natural setting where targeted interventions can support social, emotional, and behavioral growth. This talk will explore Remaking Recess and other evidence-based social skills interventions that have been successfully implemented in public schools. These interventions not only benefit children with disabilities but also enhance the recess experience for all students.
