We conduct “social thinking” groups for kids that struggle with
‘perspective taking’ abilities, and are awkward with the mechanics of social skills.
Those with Asperger’s Syndrome, ADHD, or High Functioning Autism can benefit from our groups.
What our kids have in common is their struggle to read and understand subtle and unwritten social expectancies.
It’s painful and anxiety producing to be an otherwise bright child for whom peer relations are difficult.
“Social Thinking” is based on a series of navigational tools that increase
perspective-taking and help kids try out social problem-solving. Only with understanding and practice,
do social skills generalize to real world application.

If any of this sounds like your child,
call us for a free consultation:
|
“ |
He’s so smart but gets along so much
better with adults than other kids.” |
|
“ |
Her impulsivity gets in the way of building friendships.
If I ask her, she can tell me
how to initiate conversations and make friends,
but at the point of performance, she misses cues and blurts out the wrong thing.” |
|
“ |
Mom, no one seems interested in what I have to say at school.” |
