The students we see are high school students ranging from ages 14-21. Many of these students have speech and language disabilities related to poor pragmatic skills. Some of these students are already diagnosed with Autism, but there are some who are not. My student's have a variety of social deficits which affect their everyday lives. These students often have minimal or no friends due to their poor social abilities. Our goal is to help these students by providing the tools they need to become successful communicator's during high school and their adult lives. These students have trouble making conversation, maintaining eye contact and expressing their wants and needs.
