Are you a parent, friend, or family member of a child with Autism Spectrum Disorder, PDD, ADHD, or shyness? Help is on the way! Social skills groups are set to begin the first week in May and will be held at the Tolland Recreation Department. Children will be grouped according to age and other developmental criteria.
