Social Skills Groups (Grades K–6)
Our in-person social skills groups are designed for children in Grades K–6 who experience mild social challenges. Groups meet at my antique farmhouse in Boxborough, MA, with the added benefit of both indoor and outdoor play spaces.
My unique social coaching approach provides the most natural peer and social setting possible. Groups look like typical recess or after-school play — but with extra layers of coaching and support that create a social safety net. Think of us as the people you wish were on every playground, at every school, every day.
This purposeful approach to incidental teaching has helped many children build social confidence, increase social intelligence, and generalize new skills to other settings.
Many participants do not have a documented diagnosis and simply need extra guidance on friendship skills. Children with profiles including ASD, ADHD, executive function challenges, or social anxiety are also welcome. I’m always happy to discuss your child’s individual needs to see if social coaching is a good fit.
