Have fun while learning social skills!

JFCS is now offering an exciting, interactive way to learn and practice social skills and increase socialization in a supportive environment. Teens, ages 15-20, with Asperger’s, high-functioning autism, or social challenges, are invited to participate and experience one-hour educational workshops, followed by fun outings.

Topics Include:

• How to interact with peers and develop friendships
• How to read nonverbal communication and social cues
• conversation skills
• assertiveness and self-advocacy
• safety and healthy relationships

Following the events, there will be brief “wrap-up” sessions with a discussion about the ways in which these activities have provided helpful and meaningful social interactions.

Workshops will be held for 6 Sundays, 3/11/12, 3/18/12, 3/25/12, 4/15/12, 4/22/12, and 5/20/12. The cost will be $120 for the 6 sessions. 

Participants MUST complete an initial assessment. Call 1.866.JFCSNOW (1.866.532.7669) for more information

This group was made possible through a generous grant from the Duffine Family Foundation.
