Kids' Connection: Social Skills & Beyond

This group is designed for children ages 5-10 who need support in dealing with issues related to ADHD and/or a Pervasive Developmental Disorder (such as Asperger's Disorder). The group utilizes play therapy, art therapy, and bibliotherapy to provide outlets in which the children can express their thoughts, feelings, and frustrations. Through the group process, the children also learn appropriate social skills, impulse control skills, and anger management techniques. Self-esteem building activities are also incorporated. The children not only learn necessary life skills, but they also form positive relationships with their peers.
