Social Skills Groups 

The Koch Center offers social skills groups for children preschool through high school, held at our Englewood location. Groups are time limited and are 8 sessions in length. Children are placed with peers who are of a similar age and developmental level. Social skills groups are beneficial for children who have:

v Anxiety/Depression
v ADHD
v Oppositional behaviors
v Asperger’s Disorder
v Poor communication skills
v Difficulty making friends
v Troubles with teasing
v Debilitating shyness
v Difficulty asserting themselves with peers

Skills work in groups is targeted to aid specific needs in the children who attend, as well as general skills to enhance interpersonal relationships including:

v Active Listening
v Conversation Skills
v Emotional Recognition and Expression Skills
v Empathy building
v Problem Solving
v Anger Management
v Relaxation Skills
v Dealing with Teasing/Bullying
v Being a Good Sport

Individual feedback is available to parents to keep them updated on ways they can facilitate their child’s improvement at home. Group facilitators are currently conducting assessments for new groups, so contact Dr. Koch at 201-541-6420 x1 to schedule a screening for your child.
