After moving house, I’m still unpacking some of the treasures that had been packed away for a while. And while we don’t recommend screen time for the Littles, there might have to be an exception for this classic!

Bluffton Social Skills

This program is specifically designed for level one middle-school students and will be led by Kathleen Pardue MS CCC-SLP and PJ Mullins MS CCC-SLP, both speech therapists with years of experience and with expertise supporting Autistic adolescents and teens.

Program Overview: This intensive, hands-on program will span 8 weeks, using evidence-based, neurodiversity-affirming strategies to help students develop essential social skills in a supportive, safe, and inclusive environment. We celebrate each student’s individuality and strive to empower them to navigate social situations with confidence.

What to Expect: Through interactive activities and real-world practice, participants will focus on building key social skills that help form meaningful connections with peers.

Some of the topics we will cover include:

● Perspective Taking: Observing oneself and others, understanding different points of view, and cultivating empathy.
● Basic & Advanced Conversation Skills: Initiating, maintaining, and ending conversations, and using humor and online communication effectively.
● Nonverbal Communication: Exploring personal space, body language, active listening, and tone of voice.
● Situational Awareness: Learning to read the room, adapt to new environments, and manage behaviors during mealtime.
● Problem Solving: Handling conflict, rejection, teasing, and building self-advocacy skills.
● Hygiene: Learning the importance of cleanliness, creation of hygiene schedules to promote independence, grooming, and dressing appropriately for different situations.
● Friendships and ADLs: Practice of essential skills such as greeting others, problem solving skills, self-advocacy, and understanding different social relationships, helping them feel confident and safe in a variety of community settings.

An estimated 1 in 5 children has Dyslexia. As our kids head back to school, the anxiety about reading and writing may be kicking in. A comprehensive language evaluation can look at your child's overall language - verbal and written. If you have concerns, reach out for an evaluation. If you child has Dyslexia, we can help them learn to read in the way that their brain works.

It has been a while since I posted but it has been a BUSY summer!! I've moved into a larger office here in Bluffton and am ready to start building a team to help even more children. I'm also getting ready to open my new office on Hilton Head next month. I started getting ready for Fall with the Beaufort County School District Back-to-School Expo this past weekend!!
