Friendship & Social Skills Group for Young Adults with High Functioning Autism or mild Intellectual Disabilities
- listening skills,
- calming and relaxation practices,
- friendship skill building (empathy and taking perspective of others) and
- social skills (e.g., how to “read” social cues, what to say on a job interview, etc.)
Small group discussion, social skills videos, handouts to take home, and lots of positive reinforcement and encouragement are part of the group experience. Group meets every Thursday, from 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. in my office in Raleigh. Next group starts Thursday, 9/20/18 and runs thru June 2019. You can join at any time.
