This is my son's third semester at Social City, and I feel each session was valuable. I feel he has made big progress, thanks to you. I also enjoyed every minute of working with Carli, who is so caring, patient, and supportive. Social City is so lucky to have her!

We very much enjoyed the workshop Rebecca led on play skills and felt we left with some new ideas to try and think about. I've definitely noticed that teachers have been more focused on supporting children with language during play since our meeting. Thank you for creating and facilitating such a thorough and thoughtful session.

Carli, you and the team have been incredible and C is now thriving socially at school (our goal for him in entering the program). We are truly grateful for the work you have done with him.

I have to say I am beyond impressed with all of the resources Sammi and Jackie have packed into this course. The glowing reports I’d heard about Social City make a LOT of sense!!

Thank you to you and your whole team for always being so patient and responsive to our questions. Our daughter has made so much progres working with all of you.  Last weekend we went swimming in New Jersey with her cousins. It was so thrilling to see her initiating play with new kids on the beach and in the water.  I see her using the strategies that are included in your emails and she's talking with us about how she uses what she's learning in class.  Call it luck or magic, but it is truly special when you find people who love and believe in your kid as much as you do.

Hiba and Amber are both incredible. Consummate professionals, unfailingly kind and thoughtful. I credit them with extraordinary growth in our son.

Hiba was the best! My child trusted her and wanted to come to group each week. She is very knowledgeable and collaborates with his supports/ school.

Hiba was an outstanding communicator who always listened and responded to what we had to say and ask quickly and thoughtfully. We learned so much from her. Excellent and thorough feedback loop with parents on how their kid is doing in the class. My daughter also really enjoys it!

I just wanted to reach out to each of you personally and thank you so very much for everything you have done to help us with Nathan! He has made tremendous gains. I love our growing conversations in the car and I love watching him socialize with his sister. I owe so much of his progress to you both. Lindsey, our conversations early on eased my anxiety so much and confirmed that I made the right decision for Nathan. I cannot thank you enough. We hope to return again in the summer.

We appreciate all the guidance and support you provide to Adam and the group.  It's such a joy to see friendships blossom - the eye contact and smiles - a shared happy moment. I'm hearing more dialogue too between the boys after dismissal.  My son would run up to Jake and his Dad.  Then Mason would come up from behind and they'd share a small dialogue. Adam told me last week he and Jake had the best Godzilla battle ever.

We have had many families from our school have meaningful experiences at Social City, and have seen so many students benefit from the incredible program you run.

What a joy for Melissa, I am so happy for her…thank you for all that you do!  Melissa told me that she loves going to Social City, which is saying a lot because she is apprehensive about new situations, especially social.  She told me that she had a really fun time with Emma and shared the drawing that they did.  I have noticed a bit more confidence and positivity with Melissa this past week, I think her last Social City meeting had something to do with it :)

Social City was a life saver for my child. He has learned invaluable skills that he can use in social and academic settings that he will be able to take with him in the future to both college and the work force. The staff was incredibly supportive and nurturing. Not to mention the friendships he has made.

Thank you for providing the perfect tailor made experience for our son, he truly loves the experience and the friendships he's building. Elise and Alana are truly rockstars!

Tara Ferrara
Parent of a 5 Year Old

His teachers said that they have seen a significant improvement in his interactions with his classmates and they definitely feel that Social City has been a huge help! In addition to feedback from school, I can also see an improvement in his social interactions with other kids in other settings, including the playground for example.

C.M. has also made incredibly huge gains with his other friends outside of Social city- we hosted a sleepover for two VERY boisterous boys last weekend, and C.M. expertly was able to not only have fun and moderate his reactions and behaviors in light of some very unpredictable behaviors that the other boys brought, but he found a perfect time to independently pull away when he needed 5 minutes of quiet time to himself (without prompting) and he re-emerged at a great time, ready to rejoin the group. I was so proud of him and feel like this is so indicative of his successes: playdates with these same boys just two years ago often resulted in a lot of crawling around on the floor, unregulated noises, emotional melt-downs. 98% of the noise outbursts he used to do at home after a long, busy day have ceased. We owe so much of his improvements to your team and want to thank you so sincerely. Thank you so much to you and your team for everything- we're so grateful to you all!

Everett is loving being part of the group and we see he is benefitting from the total experience. We have received feedback from his teachers about his growth in the classroom regarding his behavior and recognition of his emotions.

Thanks so much Melissa! He’s really blossomed and learned so much. I see how engaged he is during the virtual sessions - it’s been a great experience.
