About the Clinic

The Center for Social Cognition is dedicated to developing and enhancing your child’s social, emotional, behavioral, cognitive, and communications skills—the skills that allow your child to meaningfully participate in society and to enjoy life. Our intervention approach emphasizes people and settings through relevant training activities that promote generalization beyond the clinical environment. Our experienced, licensed professionals take pride in providing a wide variety of services all under one roof to address your child’s unique needs. The Center for Social Cognition offers social skills therapy, an autism intervention program, mental health services, and occupational therapy.            

Our exceptional social skills therapy program develops and strengthens social skills that enable children to build meaningful and lasting relationships with peers. Children learn social interaction skills through modeling, coaching, and direct-instruction. The negative behaviors that isolate children from being accepted by peers are shaped into socially acceptable behaviors that attract peers. This widens children’s opportunities to demonstrate acquired play and friendship skills, conversational skills, empathy skills, and social problem-solving skills—the very characteristics that make children likeable and appealing to play with.
