Young Adult Social Communication Group

Young Adult Social Communication Group

Supportive community-based speech therapy groups designed to help young adults build confidence, friendships, independence, and communication skills in real-world settings.

More Than a Social Group — It’s Real-Life Speech Therapy

Although working with young children is rewarding, one of the greatest passions at Arise Speech Therapy is helping teens and young adults grow socially, emotionally, and independently.

Real-life communication doesn’t happen in a therapy room — it happens in conversations, friendships, workplaces, and everyday experiences.

This group helps participants practice meaningful social communication skills with direct support from a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist in real-world environments.

  • Building Friendships

  • Reading Social Cues & Body Language

  • Perspective-Taking & Flexible Thinking
