Glenwood offers a 10 week social skill building program for teens with Asperger’s Syndrome through its Community Resource Center (CRC). Groups meet weekly to “check in” and describe how they are feeling. The group’s rules and activities center on respect and recognition of others’ thoughts and feelings. Through the use of such activities group members learn methods for and practice appropriately interacting with others. While the kids are involved in group activities, their parents attend a moderated support group with other parents of children with Asperger’s Syndrome. Social Skills Groups.
