Social Skills For Kids & Teens - Group Lessons
Social Skills For Kids provides social skills group work to children (ages 6-18) with a weekly parent overview of each lesson. Our groups are held in West Bloomfield on Sundays throughout the school year. Further details about my background or our program are provided on our website: www.socialskillsforkids.com
Groups are geared towards students in general education with average intelligence and language skills. Students with ADD/ADHD, high functioning Autism, learning difficulties, anxiety and depression will benefit from these programs.
We recommend parents complete the registration form (dark purple button on website). This will allow us to place them on a waiting list for our fall groups. **We do our best to offer our waiting list families a spot for our program that runs from October through May.
We promise to give it our all by teaching, supporting and reinforcing essential social and emotional skills with the children and their parents that we are fortunate enough to work with. Thank you for trusting us with your families.
