Our Services

Therapy for children, teens and young adults. The first 3 sessions are focused on developing rapport, understanding the client’s preferences and modes of learning, and discussing family needs. Next, we create goals that address language, interaction, and learning needs according to social and cognitive skills. Therapy is typically 2 sessions weekly.

Therapy can be in-person or online with a combination of both often being best for busy schedules. Parent/family communication and training is a key component of every intervention we offer. 

Therapy for preteens and teens that focuses on peer engagement and communication strategies. A few of the topics we address for teens and young adults are:

• Perspective taking

• Conversation Skills:  choosing a topic, staying on topic, how much do I say?

• Social Media: how many ‘likes’ is too much?

• Starbucks Chat – practicing social skills through observation, coffee, and interaction with the public.

Training and guidance for young adults with diverse abilities that includes basic office skills such as Google Suite.

More importantly, professional skills development focuses on the ‘little things’: Who do I greet in the mornings? When do I do it? How do I ‘follow-up’ on a task with my employer. How do I be friendly without being too personal? And many more topics that affect the day to day of the professional world.

Therapy can be in-person or online with a combination of both often being the most tenable for busy schedules. Parent/family communication and training is a key component of every intervention we offer. 

Participants exchange pre-recorded video messages with an age or interest ‘matched’ VideoPal in a secure and vetted system. The purpose of VideoPals is to develop verbal and non-verbal skills of interaction, promote cultural exchange and increase skills in organized narrative, and self-presentation. Exchanges are between students of diverse abilities (between neurotypical and those with social communication difficulties) and between students in India and the US.

All participants with communication needs are guided to participate by therapists or teachers trained in the Eye to I therapeutic intervention model. Participants are children, teens and young adults. California high school students participating in the VIdeoPal program receive a minimum of 10 of the mandatory volunteer service hours required for graduation. Let’s Chat:VideoPals! is a 501c non-profit.
