Social Skills Camps in August

[Anonymous]

Have you tried Basic Concepts? We've been very happy there!

It's not a social skills camp per se but they did add a two week August session this year.

I don't think Newton does Social Skills groups specifically. Social Skills are integrated into their full day program during the school year and I'm sure the ideas can translate into the summer camps to a certain degree, but from what I understand they do not do purely a social skills group.

Life Changing Fitness in Falls Church and Ashburn. This is more like a playgroup with coaching and it addresses some of what OT and PT address. It is not the same as a direct instruction group where they give more specifics instructions about ways to problem solve and that sort of thing. We have done quite a few social skills groups over the years. While we do think very direct instruction is helpful, what I like about LCF as opposed to an OT social skills group we tried is they actually did match based on social skills and functioning level. In OT group they swore they did this and promised there would be no kids physically aggressive. Sure enough we had a child who was biting, kicking, pinching, screeching and shoving and later that day my kid tried that out with me and the next day in preschool. These had not been my kid's issues.
