 The Center for Social Enrichment and Educational Development (The SEED Center) currently offers social skills groups for individuals with autism and other related disabilities. Participants are matched base on age and ability. These groups are facilitated using Behavior Analytic and Cognitive-developmental principles to implement structured curricula. Social skills are addressed systematically throughout the program beginning with prerequisite skills and gradually moving to more advanced social skills by using natural environment situations, community outings
and field trips.
_We are currently accepting applications to participate in social skills groups. Participants will be placed according to ability and functioning levels.
