The Power of Awareness

Our specialized approach develops awareness along a continuum from Cognition (self awareness) to Communication (social awareness) to Connection (life awareness).

Awareness helps us discover the WHY. Understanding the WHY creates opportunities for growth.

Why it matters

At 3 C's, we believe that the right group fit makes a difference!

Our specialized Social Success Groups are formed based on an individual's awareness levels, skill & will, strengths, needs, and goals…not simply by their age or diagnosis.

Our goal isn't simply to place individuals in a group. It is about finding the right fit, meeting them where they are at, and helping them grow.

Ages 8 through adulthood. Our groups serve individuals from age 8 all the way through adulthood.
A variety of neurodivergent profiles including autism, ADHD, anxiety, and much more.
Academically on track. Individuals in groups are academically on track with average to above average language skills.
Formed around the individual — awareness levels, skill & will, strengths, needs, and goals.

Families are part of the journey

At 3 C's, we believe meaningful growth happens when individuals, families, and therapists work together.

Our Circle of Care© keeps families connected through parent education, progress recaps, ongoing communication, and our 3 C's Community Network.

Our whole family approach helps families better understand their loved one's growing awareness and discover ways to encourage that growth beyond the group setting. Through our 3 C's community, families find connection, support, and HOPE.
