About HONDA SSA

HONDA SSA is a special education cooperative serving five school districts in the Lubbock area: Hale Center, Olton, New Deal, Abernathy, and Shallowater. The purpose of this page is to provide students, parents, teachers, and school staff with social, emotional, behavioral, and mental health resources. Our goal is to provide the necessary tools for our students to effectively identify, regulate, and manage their interpersonal skills to contribute their valuable attributions to their school, home, and communities.

A NOTE FROM MRS. SHADDEN, BEHAVIOR SPECIALIST AND CREATOR OF HONDA'S SMORE

Thank you to all the HONDA SSA Districts for allowing me to come into your schools and work with you on SEL and Restorative Approaches. This year has blessed me immensely to see districts recognizing the power behind these philosophies. Educating the Mind without educating the heart is no education at all (Aristotle)!
