Life Skills and Social Thinking
The Life Skills and Social Thinking Groups currently offered at TAFA target young adults (ages 15 – 30 years) , with social cognitive impairments.

Students are instructed in perspective taking, considering the points of view, emotions, thoughts, beliefs, and intentions of others. INTAKE REQUIRED.
Please contact The Tucson Alliance for Autism at 319-5857 for more information.
Social Communication
Social thinking techniques go deeper than teaching a social behavioral response pattern. It is based on the understanding that people‘s social behaviors stem from intuitive social knowledge acquired since infancy, knowledge that our students did not intuitively learn in depth and complexity.
To be held at the University of Arizona’s Speech Language and Hearing Clinics and TAFA.
