Social Skills Programs and Drama Club

Saturday Group is now available 3 weeks a month in 2 locations
Drama Club is now open to elementary, middle, and high school students

Saturday Group
Saturday Social Group provides direct social skills instruction along with activities that incorporate this instruction into everyday life skills.
Your child will have the opportunity to practice social skills with other children in a meaningful way. Saturday group is not the typical therapy session where a lesson is taught and practiced in the therapy room, but a real life session where the skill is actually happening and the children have the opportunity to generalize the social skill appropriately.
We are now offering Saturday Group at two different locations!
*Saturday Group at Hi-Hope is Sponsored by Spectrum Autism Support Group*
*Lawrenceville: Hi-Hope Center 882 HI-Hope Ln. Lawrenceville, GA 30043
Cobblestone: Cobblestone Therapy Group 11111 Houze Rd. Suite 101 Roswell, GA 30076



DRAMA CLUB
Sponsored by Spectrum Autism Support Group
Drama Club has been a huge success for our middle/high schooler! We'll have a second session starting in January.
Great News! Drama Club for Elementary, Middle, and High Schoolers
This program will support your child’s individuality as well as help strengthen their social skills through team building games and projects. Students will work together to create performances and gain confidence, adaptability and learn positive transitions to change.
The drama program will be directed by a former Gwinnett County Drama Teacher trained to work with children on the ASD spectrum.
Drama club will be held on Mondays from 6:30-8:30pm at the Lawrenceville Church of God located at 329 Grayson Hwy Lawrenceville 30046

Come join the fun!
We would love to have your child join us for our school-year activities! Your child will be able to participate in fun activities, work on social skills, and establish and maintaining friendships at any of our events.
