Special Interest Clubs

These clubs are specifically designed to provide participants an opportunity to build relationships, as well as practice communication and social skills with like-minded friends. They have been developed to reduce therapeutic focus and promote sincere relationships that can easily transition beyond the clinical settings.

Special Interest Clubs allow matched clients according to age, skill level and interests, in an effort to provide valuable "release" time, generalize communication and interactive skills, while embracing their shared special interests. Participants select topics and activities, with trained therapists available to support and guide friendship groups.
