OUR STORY

"Social Skills Are Skills For Life"

FOR  IMMEDIATE  HELP  CALL  (949) 478-5735  TO  SCHEDULE  AN  APPOINTMENT

Picture

As the mother of a young adult with Autism Spectrum Disorder, I witnessed the struggles my daughter was experiencing when she was trying to make friends and connect with others. My heart broke when she said "I don't know how to do it," "I don't know what to say," "They think I'm weird." I saw the impact social isolation was having on her self-esteem, her emotional well-being, and the way she envisioned her future.
​
Out of despair, frustration, and my desire to help my daughter, and others struggling to make friends, I trained in evidence-based practices to teach children, teens, and young adults improve social skills to enhance interpersonal connections and enjoy more fulfilling lives.
