WHAT WE DO

We coach kids, teens, and young adults with ADHD, high functioning autism, anxiety, and general social awkwardness social skills. Our social skills groups have a refreshingly non-clinical approach to social education with an emphasis on resiliency. Whether online, or at our center in Massachusetts, we provide a friendly, accepting environment that offers a balance of unstructured socialization with peers with in-the-moment social coaching, and simple, social lessons.

Everyone will struggle socially at some point during their lives; however, others experience more frequent and consistent social awkwardness. For some, a little fine-tuning is all that is needed, and for others, a long-term, consistent approach with role-playing and practice is necessary. Our goal is to help them find friends and coach them on how to make those friendships last.
