Hi - I have a recently diagnosed ASD 17 year old and have also been trying to find him in person social skills treatment - so far without luck, as Kaiser is doing everything online (don’t get me started…) But I did just come across this wonderful resource last night: https://www.php.com/. There seem to be some places listed that might be promising…? If you find a place that offers in person social skills for ASD1 teens, please let me know!
Is he pediatrician able to recommend someone or help? We had a good experience with a social skills group with Lisa Cameron Speech Language Center in Orinda. I suggest reaching out to speech language providers to see if they are able to hold sessions to address these topics or if they know of a good resource/provider. Good luck!
