SLATE is designed with the overall goal of improving life for individuals living with autism so they can become involved and productive members of their community.

Social Skills Training

Social Skills Training is offered weekly during the school year, in three 15-day sessions throughout Fall and Winter. We include field trips into the community to encourage learning outside of the classroom while providing awareness to the community about children with disabilities. Groups are kept small to enhance learning with minimal distractions. The goal of the program is to help children learn new skills and techniques for peer interaction. The groups are organized by age and capabilities available to children and teens ages 3 through 17 who are Far Northern Regional Center clients.

Groups cover topics like: perspective taking, give and take (reciprocal) conversations, friendship, and building relationships. Taught in a small group setting, in a one-to-two-hour session.

Janeth Romero

Family Services Coordinator

Janeth moved to Redding when she was 13 from the Bay Area. She the second oldest of seven kids and from a young age she has helped translate for her mom. Janeth previously worked as a CNA for 4 years before she started to learn about Rowell which then led her to work for her sister, Jasmin, as well as caring for other adults with disabilities who she has grown close with them and their families. She has always found myself wanting to help people so she’s happy to be able to continue with that here at Rowell. Outside of everything, Janeth enjoys trying new foods, whether that be cooking at home or trying a new restaurant. She loves to go thrifting and being on the hunt for good pieces to be re-loved.  Her all-time favorite pastime is to just be at home watching musicals and singing her heart out on the couch.
