In our neurodiversity-affirming therapy sessions, Kids Gets Social has created a unique curriculum based on the core ideas of social engagement, emotional awareness, sensory and emotional regulation, and self-advocacy. We utilize ideas from play-based therapy, strength-based therapy, interoceptive awareness, video modeling, Growth Mindset™, Mindfulness, and yoga.

Kids Get Social is owned and operated by our clinical director Christie Ward, Speech-Language Pathologist and Certified Autism Specialist. Christie has over seventeen years experience providing therapy in educational and clinical settings. She has worked in Wellesley, Billerica, and Somerville public schools. Her therapeutic experience and expertise have led her to specialize in social-communication therapy, and to found Kids Gets Social as a private clinic. She greatly enjoys working with children to foster their self-advocacy skills and help them make connections with others.
