Our interactive social skills groups are facilitated by Licensed Therapists and assist children in improving interpersonal skills. Through the use of therapeutic activities, games and role play, we focus on issues such as:
- Conversational Skills
- Problem Solving
- Frustration Tolerance
- Cooperation
- Flexibility
- Appropriate Expression of feelings
- Reading Body Language
- Winning and Losing
- Eye Contact
Population We Serve: Children attending Camp Excel have social skills challenges. Many have been diagnosed with ADHD or Asperger’s Syndrome. The criteria is that children be high functioning, do not have significant cognitive delays and do not have aggressive or significant behavioral challenges.
