We understand that the journey with autism is a family experience, which is why we offer a variety of group therapy options to support not only the children with autism but also their families. Here’s a look at our group therapy programs designed to provide comprehensive support and foster meaningful connections:
This group is perfect for children with autism to learn essential social-emotional skills like self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship skills. Facilitated by licensed mental health clinicians, this group provides a safe and structured environment for children to practice these skills.
