Social Connection Group (with Parent Participation)
Our Social Connection Group is a 45-minute class offered twice a week, designed to support neurodivergent individuals in building authentic social connections within an affirming, supportive environment. Groups run in three-month increments, allowing time for consistency, trust-building, and meaningful growth.
Each group is limited to four children to ensure individualized attention, emotional safety, and a pace that respects each participant’s needs. Sessions are guided by a licensed therapist and incorporate structured yet flexible activities that honor diverse communication styles, sensory needs, and ways of engaging. The focus is on social understanding, emotional awareness, collaboration, and self-advocacy—without emphasizing conformity or masking.
Parent participation is a required and essential part of this group. Caregivers actively engage alongside their child to support learning, model respectful interaction, and strengthen carryover of skills into everyday life. The therapist provides ongoing guidance to parents, fostering shared understanding and practical strategies that extend beyond the group setting.
This program offers a collaborative, strengths-based space where children and families grow together, building confidence and connection in ways that feel natural, supportive, and affirming.
