Social Club

Social Club - Level 1

This weekly program provides an entry point for children who are working on building foundational social skills. Skills are developed through facilitated conversation and cooperative games in a relaxed environment.

The goal of the program is to provide a safe and caring space for kids to connect, share, and belong.

Targeted skill development includes: joint attention, showing interest in others, reciprocal conversation, and turn taking.

"All programs that we have attended have been amazing! I like that even when we register for the same program each season, the programming is different. They encourage my child to try new things but don’t push him to the point he feels pressured."

"My hopes for my child are the same as any other parent … I hope for him to have friends and be able to have the same kind of fun I know other kids are having in their extracurricular activities."

"I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the activities my son completed during the Fun with Friends program. My son has attended other social groups which focused mainly on skill building. I loved that this program focused on hands-on learning and was actually fun for my son. I think this is the best way to learn!"

"Fun With Friends establishes core skills and understanding of making and maintaining friendships. Social skills have improved, he wants to play and have fun. This is a comfortable environment for learning and expressing himself without the fear of being judged by others. He realizes there are other kids like him and that he is well liked, he belongs and can be himself."
