About the event
Making friends, joining conversations, and navigating social situations can feel overwhelming for many children — especially those who need extra support with communication or interpreting social cues. Friends in Focus is a supportive, engaging, and fun social skills group designed to give kids the tools they need to feel more confident in social settings.
Led by Amanda McKinney, MA CCC-SLP, a licensed and experienced speech-language pathologist, this group is more than just therapy — it's a safe space where children can practice real-life social scenarios through play, movement, games, role-playing, and peer interaction coaching. Sessions are tailored to each group’s skill level, ensuring that children are both supported and challenged in ways that meet them where they are.
