Social Groups

All our social group programs focus on preparedness of those skills for developing and sustaining relationships. Relationship development is emphasized by teaching skills needed for successful peer interactions. Skills needed for successful group learning are practiced through whole and small group activities, whereby the goals and objectives are individualized to meet the needs of our students. All our groups are conducted in English.
