Many have a diagnosis of autism, ADHD, learning disabilities or other similar traits. By creating trust, connection and an engaging community, we help our students as they navigate the social world.Our ProgramsIn our programs, students develop tools and confidence to navigate the social world. Through consultation with parents, teachers and providers, we help our students generalize these new skills to their social, academic and family life.
