Social Communication Workshop: Strategies for Entering Conversations & Common Interests

July 9 @ 5:00 pm 6:30 pm

We know that starting a conversation with someone new or joining in a conversation that is already underway can be difficult. In this workshop, we’ll learn and practice a few strategies to help you enter into conversations more confidently whether that’s through one-on-one or group conversations.

This session is one of several drop-in workshops we offer that are designed to provide Autistic or neurodivergent individuals opportunities to learn and practice essential social communication skills in a safe and welcoming setting. Each 90-minute workshop covers a different aspect of social communication, providing information, tips and strategies intended to help in day-to-day social situations. You can attend the session(s) that interest you the most or we recommend attending them all!
