Social skills groups are offered for 8 week sessions several times throughout the year for children 8 to 11 and 11 to 14 years of age. Each group has 4 to 6 children in the same age range. These programs are designed for children with age-appropriate cognitive functioning who are experiencing difficulty in peer relationships. Topics covered include learning to listen, recognizing body language, improving conversational skills, recognizing and expressing feelings appropriately, demonstrating self-control, utilizing relaxation techniques, thinking positively, handling teasing, and solving conflicts.
Next group beginning in early April! Please contact Dr. Riggio for more information.
