Who: Led by Gayle Born, M.Ed. and Jim Trotti, M.Ed., LPC

What: A social skills group for adolescent boys in grades 6 – 9.

When: Thursday afternoons, 5:00 – 5:55 p.m.

Where: Parkaire Consultants, Inc.

Why: This group is intended to provide direct instruction in social skills for students with social deficits. This group serves children with ADHD, OCD, Anxiety, Tourette syndrome, Bipolar, Expressive and Receptive Language Disorders, and students with Sensory Integration Disorders. Groups increase pragmatic language through the use of role plays, scripts, and guided interaction with other students. Most importantly, the group fosters meaningful relationships and helps children learn how to make and keep friends.

Cost: $800 for a 14-week session.

There are two sessions during the school year. A fall session begins in August and runs through early December. A winter/spring session begins in January and runs until early May. There is ongoing enrollment until groups are filled.
