Small, supportive groups where children build confidence, strengthen social-emotional skills, and practice navigating real-life situations.
Fall 2026 Social Clubs Enrollment Now Open!
Learning Social Skills Through Real Connection and Practice
Children need more than a list of social rules. They need supportive opportunities to practice flexible thinking, communication, emotional regulation, and problem-solving with other children.

What Makes Brain Buddy Social Clubs Different?
Brain Buddy Social Clubs are:
Small and intentionally matched
Children are grouped thoughtfully based on age, strengths, goals, communication style, and overall group fit.
Structured but engaging
Each session follows a predictable plan while incorporating movement, games, visuals, creative projects, and collaborative activities.
Strengths- and interest-based
Children’s interests and motivators are incorporated to increase participation, connection, and confidence.
Focused on real practice
Children do not only talk about social skills. They practice those skills with peers in real time while receiving supportive coaching.
Connected to everyday life
Parents receive information about the skills being practiced and ways to reinforce them outside the group.
Is a Social Club the Right Fit for My Child?
Brain Buddy Social Clubs are designed for children who can participate in a small group without continuous one-to-one support and who would benefit from direct teaching and supported peer practice.
Because the success of each group depends on creating a comfortable and productive dynamic, enrollment begins with an interest form and fit process.
Nicole considers each child’s age, strengths, goals, communication needs, regulation needs, and overall group fit before recommending placement.
Completing the interest form does not guarantee placement in a specific group. If a Social Club is not the most appropriate option, Nicole may recommend individual coaching or another form of support.
