Dear Parents:

Thank you for your 12 years of support of FriendSmarts. The opportunity to help your child learn the skills to make and keep friends has been a source of great professional and personal joy to me. I am very grateful to have been part of your and your child’s life.

Due to the necessity of a new focus in my own life, FriendSmarts will be closing at the end of May 2012. To help you find additional social skills groups for your child, I have prepared a resources page with a list of summer and school year groups. If you have questions or comments, you can continue to reach me through the website or email at .

My best wishes to you and your children for continued social learning and success.
