Social groupS
Each month, we offer two Social Groups for adults (18+) with autism or similar conditions. Groups discuss a social skills topic, then chat about common interests to practice group conversation skills and make friends!
ABABC Social Group reviews a social skill topic from the PEERS curriculum.
Paced Social Group reviews a social skill topic from the Paced curriculum for those who need more support with learning.
Participants are encouraged, within their own comfort zones, to build friendships. Limited to 8 people per group: registration is REQUIRED. Participation fee applies.
