Narrative

The Friendship Connection is a center devoted to teaching children with social-emotional difficulties how to form connections with others. We service children with autism, Asperger disorder, attachment issues, OCD, anxiety, ADHD, behavioral disorders, non-verbal learning disorder, sensory integration disorder, and other non-specific social-emotional difficulties that interfere with their ability to relate to others.  

Through group work, home intervention, individual therapy, parent support and training, guided recreational activities, and school consultation our goal is to help each child learn and apply the skills necessary to build friendships. Children who tend to see the world in black and white are shown how to navigate the gray areas in their social landscape. The earlier intervention begins, the more successful our children will be in school and life.
