Our Social Skills Class is designed to help teens and adults with disabilities build confidence, communication, and meaningful relationships in a supportive group setting. Each class focuses on a specific social skill such as disagreeing respectfully, winning and losing gracefully, self-advocacy, understanding others’ perspectives, good manners, flexibility, and healthy coping strategies.

During the second half of class, participants take part in hands-on group activities such as cooking, art, tabletop games, and collaborative projects that allow them to practice these skills in real-life situations. Through these activities, participants learn how to cooperate with others who may think differently, manage emotions, develop flexibility, strengthen coping skills, and build and maintain friendships in a fun and encouraging environment.
