I send an email every Monday during the weeks we are open sharing what the students in my social groups are learning that week, along with all the other things we have going on around here! You're gonna want in on this!

Check us out, being all social!

One of the biggest struggles for neurodivergent kids and teens is their ability to make and maintain friendships. But are traditional models that teach our kids to be more like other kids really the best way to help them make friends? Steph West, a reformed social skills teacher, is here to help you discover what your kid REALLY needs to know when it comes to making friends. Steph is the ADHD brain behind Starfish Social Club, which has helped hundreds of students become more socially competent, confident, and connected, and she's here to show you how to do the same for your kiddo!
