I have also compiled a list of social skills groups in the Metro Atlanta area. These groups are a fun way for children to learn social skills in a variety of different environments.

Circus Arts
Therapy helps clients age 3-12 by stimulating their imagination and creativity
in a playful, social setting. The experience of working with circus equipment
helps participants overcome the fear of everyday challenges, and Circus Arts
Therapy is a unique experience that can also serve as a complement to ongoing
traditional or play therapy.

Running
MATES is a weekly running group for children ages 5-12 who have difficulty with
social interaction, such as high functioning autism spectrum disorders, ADHD
and sensory integration dysfunction. Running MATES helps kids learn social
skills and train for a 5K race, but it is more than a running group. It is an
opportunity to enhance social interaction with other children, increase
self-esteem and succeed in a mainstream sport.
