Our Social Skills Groups provide children with autism spectrum disorders the opportunity to learn essential social skills in a group context. Small group learning with age-matched peers allows children to practice skills such as initiating and maintaining a conversation, negotiating winning and losing, cooperating with differences of opinions, and learning through observation.

Our fully licensed preschool program is for children ages 3-5 who may not have a diagnosis yet, but clearly have moderate learning delays in more than one area of development.
