Social Skills Groups & Speech Therapy in South Jersey

Big Kids | Teens | Speech Clarity | Apraxia | Reading | Spelling | Friendships | Bullying

When your child or teen is bright — but friendships, speech, or reading still feel harder than they should.

We make it all make sense — by addressing what’s happening beneath the surface, we replace confusion with clarity and help them move forward with confidence.

Because the right approach makes all the difference.

Who We Help Most

  • Are they struggling to make or keep friends? Do they feel lonely, left out, misunderstood, or bullied?

    We make social skills make sense — teaching teens how to start conversations, read social cues, build real friendships, and handle teasing or conflict with confidence.

    We offer structured PEERS® Social Skills Groups, individualized speech therapy for social communication, and relaxed Game Nights — a supportive, less-structured space where tweens and teens can connect, feel understood, and build real friendships.

  • Are they bright and capable — but reading, spelling, or even learning letters still feels harder than it should?

    Whether your child is struggling with early letter recognition, sounding out words, spelling patterns, or signs of dyslexia (diagnosed or not), we look beneath the surface to understand why literacy feels stuck.

    We strengthen the skills that make reading work — so words become clearer, spelling makes more sense, and school feels less frustrating and more manageable.

    Explore individualized speech-language therapy designed to build strong literacy skills from the foundation up.

  • Do you understand some of what they say — but others struggle? Do you find yourself translating for them?

    When speech isn’t clear, there’s usually a reason beneath the surface. Whether it’s speech sound errors, motor planning challenges like childhood apraxia of speech, or difficulty coordinating sounds, we identify what’s truly getting in the way.

    We build the foundation for clearer, more confident speech — so your child can be understood without frustration.

  • Are you waiting for words — and wondering if you should be concerned?

    If your toddler isn’t talking yet, using only a few words, or seems hard to understand for their age, there’s usually a reason. We look closely at early language development, speech sounds, and motor planning to understand what’s getting in the way.

    With the right support, early communication skills can grow quickly — building a strong foundation for speech, learning, literacy, and confidence.

FAQs: Social Skills Groups and Speech Therapy

  • It’s a good idea to reach out if your child isn’t meeting communication milestones, struggles to be understood, has difficulty expressing their ideas, is falling behind in school, avoids conversations, or has trouble making and keeping friends.

    At the end of the day, waiting has never helped a struggling child. So, contact our SLP in South Jersey to find out if there’s reason to be concerned.

  • Absolutely! Many children and teens speak clearly but struggle with conversations and social cues — critical skills for making friends and standing up to bullies.
