Ninety-nine percent of all the social skills programs are for young children. But, in my opinion, especially if the child doesn't have the advantage of these programs in the early years, there is little available once they are older and the challenges are much bigger in teens. How do you teach someone to flirt? To navigate sexual topics? To do a job interview? The issues get larger with age. Hope to see this offered in a lot of places. This sounds wonderful.
