Autism Partnership will be running two social skills groups for young children (ages 3 to 5) diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder in 2014-2015. The group will help children learn valuable social, play, leisure, and other adaptive skills. We have been running similar social skills groups for over 15 years and know that the group can lead to meaningful change.
