ABOUT US

We are dedicated to helping your child or teen master effective social skills in school, home, and among friends.
 
We first assess each child's individual cognitive, adaptive behavioral, learning, and social skill strengths. You and your child will receive complete feedback regarding what concerns are found and goals which can be accomplished. We'll also provide referrals to allied professionals in education, nutrition, speech and language, medicine, art, physical training, and religion.
 
From the assessment, we'll select goals to be reached and ways to measure our progress. Our treatment plan will not only focus on problem areas; it will focus on your child's strengths.
 
Our collaboration will yield the best treatment outcome.
 
Children actively participate in a graduated process of social skill acquisition. We utilize individual, peer dyads (pairs), groups, and family experiences - based upon your child's unique strengths and needs.
 
Parents and families of younger children are asked to participate throughout the entire process. Older children and adolescents work individually, in peer dyads and groups, and provided with opportunities to teach peers and their parents what they have learned.
 
We will soon add information to this site concerning our services, policies, and fees.
 
You'll also be able to download and print questionnaires, forms, references, and directions to our office.
 
We are located near Good Samaritan Hospital. Good Samaritan Hospital is located on Samaritan Drive. We are located at 2512 Samaritan Court - Suite i.
