WHY INVEST IN IMPROVING SOCIAL SKILLS?
New Study Shows Poor Social Skills Might Lead to Poor Physical, Mental Health
It’s no secret that our society is becoming increasingly less social. Many of us prefer to communicate and connect via text, phone call, Facebook, or email—anything but face-to-face. And when we do happen to forego our phones or our computers, we freeze up. That security blanket of a screen is no longer there, and we suddenly forget how to talk to one another

What does SociallyWize Education Foundation actually do?
We support children, young adults, and older adults
through their personal journey of growth. Our
focus is on social skills development and executive
functioning skills which are goal-directed
behaviors. Sometimes clients don’t even realize
they need to refine their executive function skills!
We help people learn about how they learn
(metacognition), develop individualized strategies,
and hold themselves accountable in using those
strategies. We use a problem-solving models to
work on goals and address barriers and obstacles
to growth.
Our
overarching goal is to help people in
developing: (1) problem solving skills, (2) a growth-
mindset, (3) grit and resilience, and (4)
independence.
What SociallyWize Education Foundation DOn't do?
We are not a school (although we do help with
homeschooling coursework), and we do not provide
therapeutic supports. We also do not provide ABA
supports (although some of our work is behavioral
in nature) or related services, such as Speech, OT,
or PT. Coaching can complement these other
supports, so if you are questioning whether we are
a good fit or not, feel free to
set up a call with us and we’d be happy to clarify
how we can help
. If we aren’t a good fit, we always try to point you
in the right direction of something else you may be
looking for.
What age group do you work with?
We work through the lifespan, starting as early as 5
years old up through adults in their eighties and
