Social Skills Classes

The Joshua Center for Neurological Disorders is expanding their social skills classes. We are planning classes in new locations: Olathe, Shawnee, Topeka, Lawrence and Warrensburg. We need your help. If you are interested in classes in these areas please register your child immediately. This is the only way we will know how many kids to plan for.

Often, children with Tourette Syndrome, Asperger Syndrome and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder have difficulty interacting with their peers. The Joshua Center offers opportunities for these kids to have fun hands-on activities with kids their own age. Register online at www.joshuacenter.com or call the Joshua Center at 816-763-7605.
