Clue Breakers™

Many young people, including those with Asperger Syndrome, have a hard time reading social cues. The purpose of this group is to discover the clues of successful social interactions, such as reading facial expressions and body language. The goal is to develop effective communication skills and learn to take the perspective of another. Each session will include the introduction, modeling and practice of a social skill, as well as group counseling related to friendship issues.
