Teen Talk is a cutting-edge group that focuses on Social Thinking® concepts and "hidden" social rules. Teens are taught to think through social situations, focusing on why we engage in particular social acts, rather than simply memorizing social rules. We use innovative, ageappropriate techniques to help teens understand how their words and actions influence the way people think about them. (Ages 13 - 19)
