Skills for Social Success
“He is interrupting me every time I give directions or try to make a point.”
“He talks to long…” “She constantly touches her peers and doesn’t seem to be aware of how it is bothering her peers.” “His friends don’t want to include him in their games.”
“Her teachers constantly seem to get annoyed at her because she over reacts to problems..”
These are just some of the statements we have been told by parents of children ages 4-14 who are having social skills difficulties.
This summer we are offering many different social thinking opportunities for children. Each week, we will be running social thinking groups that will help children learn more about how their social behaviors impact the way others think and feel about them.
If you know of children who would benefit from learning from two individuals with lots of experience helping kids become stronger social thinkers, you have found the right place!
SLP Sharon Sokolik and School Psychologist Robyn Liebman will be running the groups.
Below is the schedule of social thinking group dates, along with camp dates that we will be offering this summer.
Exact locations of the groups will be announced based on the weather. We will meet at the JF+CS building 4549 Chamblee-Dunwoody Road in Dunwoody on the weeks we do not have outings. The groups are open to children ages 5-12. They will be split up based on ages and level of functions.
The cost will be $100 for the 100 minute groups/outings and the four day camp will be $400.
