NYFS to host Social Skills Groups for the Summer

NYFS is hosting Social Groups for youth between the ages of 10-20 with autism spectrum disorders or other social difficulties

NYFS Social Groups and Activities allow children, teens and young adults with autism spectrum disorders or other social difficulties the opportunity to engage in typical activities and recreational outings with guidance from NYFS trained staff. We aim to promote individual growth, confidence, independence, flexibility, and patience for children, teens, and young adults with social skills challenges. Our summer series consists of 5 weekly meetings. Each group will meet from 5:30 pm to 7:00 pm with the day being determined by the youth/young adults’ age.  For more information and/or to register, please contact Jennifer Brainard, Program Coordinator at 203-426-8103 or jbrainard@newtownyouthandfamilyservices.org
