Social Challenges
for children and adults
Pragmatic language, social thinking, and conversational discourse are important foundational skills for all individuals to communicate and connect with peers, family, friends, and teammates. Children and adults with speech/language challenges often have difficulty interacting with others, engaging in social situations, maintaining conversation (or topic), and establishing/maintaining friendships.
Social challenges can look different depending upon the individual. To see testimonials and stories from those who overcame social challenges, visit our media page.

Testimonials
“Chris learned social skills that were valuable in school while interacting with peers. Tessa does a superb job facilitating the program. My son loved her sense of humor. He felt optimistic and excited for each session. We had been doing speech for many years utilizing “Zones of Regulation,” however; this Social Thinking program is in a league of its own. My only regret is that we did not start this when Chris was younger.”
~ Lucy Gomez, Mother of Chris
Yelp Reviews
”With other kids, Edyn would use parallel play with no interaction or speaking, and with adults, she hid behind me (painfully shy, sometimes in tears). Medically, my daughter was diagnosed by several experts as suffering from a neurological disorder, NOS, extropia, selective mutism, global learning and emotional disabilities. The doctors could provide no answers; the only hope was therapy. I tried three different therapists with little progress and then was referred to Jodie K Schuller & Associates. Edyn learned so much from social thinking on how to handle difficult emotional situations. Without this therapy team, my daughter’s future looked bleak. Now we will see how far she can go!”
~ Tiger B, Father of Edyn
