Summer Camp.
Get ready for a week of fun and friendship in the city! This very unique workshop offers intensive social skills training to children ages 7-12. Designed by a speech language pathologist, this camp is perfect for children who need help communicating with peers to establish friendship connections, and to comprehend hidden social rules for interacting successfully through-out daily interactions. Each day will begin with a structured learning session to introduce specific social skills. Participants will get a chance to practice their skills through fun yet intensive learning activities such as video modeling and role-play. Each afternoon will consist of lunch and an outing, where every moment of the day will be an opportunity to generalize social skills into every day experiences!

Who would benefit from these workshops?
These workshops were created for bright, motivated children between the ages of 7-12 who would benefit from a structured approach to improving pragmatic language skills, awareness of others, and the ability to initiate and maintain peer relations. Many of our children have diagnoses of Asperger syndrome, non-verbal learning disorder, anxiety, and ADHD. However, it is not necessary to have a diagnosis to participate.
