More than a simple social outing, this group offers structured, skill-based practice in a supportive setting. Each session focuses on one specific social skill that is taught, modeled, and then practiced with peers through activities and games, with coaching provided in the moment. Participants work on joining group conversations, starting and maintaining conversations, perspective taking or reading the room, handling winning and losing appropriately, managing frustration and disappointment, exchanging information instead of monologuing, self control and impulse management, cooperation and teamwork, problem solving social conflicts, and building and maintaining friendships. The goal is to help individuals move beyond knowing social rules and start using them successfully in real life. Led by Mike Marchionne, M.S., BCBA, the group provides guidance and feedback throughout the session, introduces a new skill each week, and creates structured opportunities to interact with peers. Parents receive a brief summary and practice suggestions after each session. Designed for children and teens with ADHD who would benefit from extra support with friendship, communication, and social problem solving. Group size is limited to 10 participants.
