Hi everyone! I'm sorry I haven't been around to blog. I just wanted to give people an update on how things are going in my Poughkeepsie and Kingston Social Skills groups. I would like to give a shout out to the kids and parents who participate.  I want to thank all of you for your support which makes these groups possible. 
Currently, I have 4 students in the Poughkeepsie group ages 12-16. This is a wonderful group of kids who get along well and get together outside of the group for outings. 
The Kingston group is growing, with a diverse age range of 6-12.  We had a great group today and I look forward to next week.
We spent some time getting to know each other and we talked about having friendships. We played some games and shared a snack. Next week we will be working on play skills that address turn taking and winning/losing.
