Social Skills Groups, Reading Help, and Speech Therapy for Kids and Teens in Haddonfield, NJ
Helping bright kids and teens who are struggling to build friendships, respond to bullying, become confident readers, and speak clearly.
When your child or teen is bright — but friendships, speech, or reading still feel harder than they should.
We go beneath the surface to uncover what others miss — so the right skills take root and confidence takes hold.

Some children and teens want friends — but struggle to start conversations, read social cues, build real friendships, or stay connected with peers.
We make the unwritten rules of social interactions make sense and help children and teens connect — our groups give them a place to learn and practice real-world skills with others their age.
Our advanced groups address common social challenges. Teens learn how to handle arguments, respond to teasing, stand up to bullies, and squash rumors and gossip with confidence.
We offer two types of social skills groups:
Structured groups using the evidence-based PEERS® program — designed to help teens and tweens learn how various social interactions work and what to do.
Game Days — a supportive, relaxed environment where tweens and teens can connect, feel understood, and build real friendships.
Individual speech therapy for social communication is also available.

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 showing 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.

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.
