WHAT WE DO (differently)

We're on a mission. Everyone with a social and emotional challenge deserves to have a full, happy and healthy life. These individuals are caring, talented and have so much to offer. Yet, thousands of young people are shut out of social, educational and employment opportunities. With specialized supports and opportunities individuals can have fuller lives. Everyone deserves to have relationships, accomplishments and adventure. At Great Connections we respect everyone's individuality. We foster organic peer relationships and support age-appropriate activities. Always promoting skills, our instruction is based on the neurological and cognitive underpinnings of social and emotional development. We motivate our clientele through instruction and activities that encourage independence, confidence and well-being.
