Are you looking to help your pre-teen & teen with Social Skills? We're offering virtual social skills groups based on the acclaimed PEERS model to assist identify, understand, and navigate social settings.

The groups are designed to be sensitive to ability needs, fun, interactive, and reasonably priced. We've received highly positive feedback from participants and families already.

They are one hour per week online, with the goal of getting small groups together at an in-person event once per month*. (Each participant is responsible for the cost of each social event).

We've provided an updated QR code where you can register for the next sessions. You can also copy/paste this url as well: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdBmM7FAFkHL_84ECPLZW-ujxDpWml24moXKlh4JapRu3xGgA/viewform

Feel free to send an email to Damon if you have further questions.

We can and will provide more details as we align groups. (We keep the groups small so that no one gets overwhelmed or lost and so that each person can participate.)

Meet our staff!!

My name is Lyndie. I am a mother of two beautiful children, Aaden and Sophee and have a wonderful husband, Eric. I love camping, fishing and spending quality time with my family. I am obsessed with gardening and find myself in the garden for hours at a time. I am also a huge Utah Utes fan! Previously, I taught art and literacy in an elementary setting and absolutely loved it.
I love helping others and meeting new people.

Dana!

Hello! My name is Dana Merrill. I enjoy camping and being outdoors with my husband and family. We enjoy traveling whenever possible and exploring new places. I love being an auntie and spending as much time as possible with my nieces and nephew. I have several pets and am a huge animal lover.

I am a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) and have been with Manning Behavior Services since it started. I found my passion for working with children with behavioral needs in the school setting and quickly decided to pursue a career in child behavior. My goal is to attain a Master’s Degree in Child Psychology and become a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). I love teaching and helping children learn the skills needed to be confident in themselves and their futures.

I love everything arts and crafts related, especially painting. I’m always looking for fun DIY projects to do around my house and cute furniture to restore.
I was a special education paraprofessional for 4 years and have absolutely loved working at MBS. One of my favorite parts about my job is finding creative solutions and fun new ways to teach. I think having fun is such an important key to learning.

Jessica Sivertson

I love being in the outdoors and spending time with my family. We love Yellowstone and our home in Willard.

I received my bachelors degree in special education from Brigham Young University and worked as a special education teacher for five years. Last year I was able to get my masters degree and I have almost completed schooling to become a BCBA! I love working with families and helping them to advocate for their kids:)

What I love most about MBS is the focus on natural environment teaching and real relationships with clients and families.
