 What We Do  

We offer social groups for preschoolers, elementary and high school aged kids. We also offer groups for young adults in college and for those who are not in college.

Our groups teach specific concetps through direct instruction, modeling, and a wide variety of hands on activities. Each individual joins a small group  according to their language abilities, perspective taking, and temperament. Each group meets weekly for 45 minutes followed by a ten minute briefing with the parents.

Requirements for Sessions
Participants are required to commit to one semester, which generally runs anywhere between 15-17 weeks. The fall semester usually runs from the beginning of September thru the end of December. The spring semester runs from the beginning of January thru the end of May. The office is closed for one week during Thanksgiving, for two weeks at winter break, and for one week in the spring.
