Parent Support Group
For parents of children on the autism spectrum.
The focus is to bond with others going through similar situations and share ideas, information and feelings about everyday life with a challenging child. Topics may include dealing with grief; CPSE and CSE meetings; handling family, friends and school; transitioning; and finding resources. Don't underestimate the importance of networking!!!

At this time I am not running social skills groups for children/adolescents younger than high school. The high school group may start up again in the fall if there is enough interest.
Social Skills Group
For boys and girls with social difficulties including AD/HD, Asperger's Syndrome, Autism, and other Pervasive Developmental Disabilities.
The focus is to enhance social skills development within a recreational format. This group is modeled after a "social club" and is for those looking to meet friends and practice skills in a relaxed and friendly forum. These teens already have a basic understanding of social rules and need a supervised forum to apply these skills and receive feedback. Often their awareness of their own shortcomings is not where it needs to be. Through discussion, role-play and interactive games, the group will learn and practice conversational skills, nonverbal skills, and friendship skills. Particular "social or emotional problems" such as bullying, or dealing with anger, will be addressed depending on the needs of the group.
Fridays, 4:00 - 5:00 PM, High School Group
Will start a college group if enough interest is out there. Please contact me.
Fee $400 for 10 weeks
