Event Description:

“But I Didn't Mean To!” — Understanding Social Communication Challenges

Does your child want friends but struggle with joining groups, maintaining conversations, or navigating tricky social situations?

Do you often hear, “But I didn't mean to!” when your child unintentionally hurts someone's feelings, misunderstands a social interaction, or struggles to understand why someone reacted negatively?

Sometimes, children have the best intentions but struggle to recognize how their words or actions are perceived by others.

Join Melanie Rosenthal, M.S., CCC-SLP, Social Communication Specialist at Riding the Wave Center, for an engaging, neurodiversity-affirming virtual series exploring friendships, perspective-taking, flexible thinking, social cues, and self-advocacy.

Designed for parents and educators, this two-part series moves beyond simply telling children what to do socially. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of why social challenges arise and learn practical strategies to support more successful interactions.

Much thanks to a generous sponsor -- we are offering free registration to 5 participants.
