My child has friends sometimes, but still struggles socially — is this a fit?

Probably, yes.  When someone struggles socially, they’re having a hard time connecting with others and/or participating in social routines.  That can happen when they have friends, when they make friends but struggle to keep them, and when they have trouble making friends altogether.  We teach how to connect with others, how to use and understand social cues, and how various interactions work.

Is this therapy or social skills training?

We use structured, evidence-based and curriculum-based programs to teach missing skills.  Some methods are linguistic while others are behavioral or cognitive.  We use a holistic approach to teach specific, abstract skills in a clear and concrete way.  Some may consider that “therapy,” but it is not open-ended, talk therapy.

Can speech therapy help with bullying and peer conflict?

Yes.  What is said and how it’s said matters immensely in these situations.  Language, communication, behavioral and cognitive skills are all needed in these moments.  Our advanced training in these areas enables us to teach kids how to stand up to bullies, resolve arguments, and squash rumors and gossip.  

Are your groups led by a speech therapist?

Yes, all of our services are provided by a licensed speech therapist who is a certified provider of PEERS for Adolescents and Young Adults and a Certified Autism Specialist.

What ages do you work with?

While our groups are for tweens and teens in middle and high school, we also work with children and young adults in their 20s.
