Speechaluma is where you find social skills groups/speech therapy in Petaluma! My name is Beth Gonzalez-Karcs, M.S. SLP-CCC. I am a speech-language pathologist with over twenty years experience. My goal is to help develop social skills as well as self-awareness in order to boost self-confidence. This lays the foundation for new friendships to develop. There is a friend for everyone. Sometimes we just need a little support in the social arena. Most things we have to know in life are explicitly taught yet social skills are not. Neurodiverse brains are gifted in so many ways especially in the creative realm. These small group classes (offered in-person or online) combine social skills and writing. The social skills I teach can be applied in new settings. The social opportunities in the group learning experience with fellow creatives is a unique pairing as it is often through shared interests that friendships develop. Following the social skills-writing groups classes, the Relationships, Dating and Wellness course is recommended as friendship skills are a precursor to dating skills. These classes offer new twist to teaching social skills, which you will not find anywhere else.
