We are proud to offer a social skills training program for children, adolescents, and adults. This 8 week program teaches social skills to individuals with or without disabilities in a relaxed environment. In addition to course instruction, participants will be encouraged to network with peers by participating in role-play scenarios and behavioral rehearsal exercises with other members during group. In order to reinforce social skills learned in the group, members will be asked to complete homework assignments that involve performing a social task (eg. calling peer, scheduling a meeting, ordering food, etc.). A pre and post test will be administered to track progress. This program is facilitated by our social skills specialist Frank Guastella, LMSW.
