Have you tried other social skills groups for your teen/young adult and found that they…

  • Were too unstructured and lacked any evidence of efficacy?

  • Didn’t incorporate family participation and therefore, you couldn’t help your child work on skills taught in group?

  • Were not teaching ecologically valid social skills that can be generalized in the real world?

  • Relied too heavily on an applied behavioral analysis (ABA) approach?

  • Operated via Telehealth and lacked the important dynamics of in-person interactions?

“Dr. Chu and her team have put together an amazing program. Our son is finishing up a program with them and it has been a hugely positive experience for him and our family. I think the success is due to the high-quality research behind the program and the time, effort, and dedication that Dr. Chu and her team put into it…Would highly recommend this program for any children and adolescents who need social skills training.”
