This was a great small group setting ( 4-5 kids) and my son loved his time going to play and interact with other kids, and looked forward to it every week!

My son was struggling at school with his social skills. His anxiety has dropped quite a bit since taking part in Maura’s class.

Blake has really enjoyed his time at this group. He really enjoyed the fishing game about friendship qualities. He also has been asking other kids more questions about their interests instead of just talking about himself.
