“My (picky) daughter says this is her favorite camp & can’t wait to attend each summer! ”
“Social Grace is amazing. Ginny and her team take the time to understand each child individually and make personalized recommendations. They treat each child with respect, recognize their agency, and stay focused on goals. And the best part is how fun it is. My (picky) daughter says their Get Out of the House Group is her all-time favorite week-long camp and can’t wait to attend each summer!”
“After two weeks of the group, my son said: Best time ever!”
“The staff at Social Grace are dedicated to improving the lives of the neurodiverse community. Our teenager has been seeing a Social Coach for about a year! It has made a world of difference as he maneuvers his social interactions. Recently, we participated in two weeks of their "Get Out of the House" Group. It was an incredible two weeks. They learned to ride the Metro, explored healthy food options and our community. My son said, "Best time ever." We are truly thankful for them.”
“Worth every penny. Best camp our daughter [with autism] has ever been to.”
“This group has been an amazing experience for our 15 year old daughter with autism. She struggles in social situations, is very shy, and avoids conversation with peers. She had such an amazing time and couldn't wait to go back for a second week. The structure of social lessons, navigating the world with metro, eating lunch out, and participating in fun activities with so much social support was absolutely amazing.”
