Get Ready For Summer Social Skills Camps Orlando Florida FL

Summertime is the perfect time to help your child improve his or her social skills in preparation for the upcoming school year. Does your child try too hard to make friends laugh, even at his own expense? Do you find your daughter isolated or withdrawing from friends? Are you concerned friends do not call to hang out with your student? If this is your student they may be a great candidate for our Social Skills Camps!

Total Life Counseling Center offers a variety of weekly social skills groups for youth aged 6 through 18 & young adults. But we know that entering a new school or a new grade can be a very stressful time. That is why in addition to our groups we are proud to be offering a week long summer camp that will focus on building leadership and social skills to catch your student up socially, and help them be prepared in the Fall by closing the gap socially! Kids from all over the country have attended Jim’s camps as well as from the Caribbean Islands!

Social Skills camps and groups focus on these key areas of socialization:

Recognizing non-verbal cues
Teaching about personal space
Promoting healthy ways to get attention instead of using annoying behavior
Increasing self confidence
Increasing eye contact
Promoting taking an interest in peers, rather than being self-centered.
Conversation skills
Teaching the difference between being “assertive” and “bossy”
Controlling impulses and blurting out responses
Managing anger
Dealing with provocation from peers
Coping skills

Who benefits from attending social skills camps and groups:

Most children who have trouble with any of the areas listed above
Aspergers and Autistic Spectrum
ADHD/ADD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder)- Most are behind socially up to 25%
Children who are bullied or have trouble responding to teasing.
Have trouble connecting to same age peers
Depression or anxiety, especially when engaging in conversation with peers
Who do not have friends calling to do things

Total Life Counseling Center’s adhd social skills camp is structured to provide your child with the tools he or she needs to survive another school year. At our camp, your child will be reassured as they meet others who are struggling with the same concerns. They will be able to work through their concerns with the empathy and support of other campers, which can continue throughout the fall during our weekly social skills groups. We love helping children with autism, or with any needs!
