Halloween Social Skills Workshop

General, News, Parenting, UCCF, Workshops

Does Halloween cause anxiety in your family? Is trick-or-treating both fun and nerve-wracking at the same time?

This workshop, presented by the Mary A. Rackham Institute will help children learn social, communication, and safety skills around Halloween, and then practice these skills in a safe environment.

This in-person workshop is geared towards children with a developmental and chronological between 4-10, who may need more confidence and practice with communication and social skills around Halloween and Trick-or-Treating. The group will meet for one hour to learn, and then have a second hour to practice skills.

Our two-hour workshop is led by Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBA), who have experience working with neurodiverse children (ADHD, ASD, etc.).
