Last year I ran a social skills group for young teens and it was a lot of fun! It is based on Michelle Garcia Winner’s Social Thinking Curriculum, which teaches a lot about perspective taking. We also throw a lot of games and different conversations in the group too. The kids had a great time and we always had a ton to talk about (as you can imagine with this age…).
So we’re going to start the group up again in February. Here’s a description of the group:
This ”casual therapy” group is for young teens (ages 12-16) with Autism, communication disorders, or just need some help with social skills. We combine therapy and “hang out time” to address appropriate social communication in a fun environment.
The dates for February are:
February 6, 13, 20, 27
4-5 pm (will probably take place at Ackerman in the library)
Please let me know if you are interested!!
