Calling all homeschool families 🗣️

Let’s connect, grow, and thrive together.

IT’S OFFICIAL!!! 📢📢📢
Due to increased demand, we are excited to announce the launch of two new social skills groups offered by Casey’s Special Education Services! Designed to help children build essential social skills and foster meaningful connections with their peers, these groups are led by one of our special educators, Ms. Lillian Brown.
💬 Each group provides young participants with tools for effective communication, conflict management, and more.
🏆 Following the great success of our social skills groups in Silver Spring last school year, we’re thrilled to expand with these new options! Our favorite part about these groups is the opportunity for students to connect with like-minded peers and build authentic friendships that can last beyond the program.
🚌 Both groups will take place at The Siena School, located at 1300 Forest Glen Rd, Silver Spring, MD 20901.
We can’t wait to get started!!! 🎉🛝
