What Social Skills Clients Have Said
about Wendy Halley

“One of the most challenging situations a parent can face is watching their child struggle with peer relationships. We tried everything- team activities, camps, organized play dates, but due to disability my son did not pick up on social cues. It put my husband and I in the awful position of trying to tell him what he was doing wrong and feeling like we were telling him he wasn’t likable. The problem persisted into high school. Finally, after therapy and teacher conferences and everything we could imagine we found Wendy. Thank goodness!! She worked with him in a gentle but persistent way to address his areas of weakness. She used helpful worksheets that she tailored specifically to him. She also worked with me as a parent to get as much information about how others experienced him. It was quite simply put a miraculous change. He is dedicated to the work he does with her because he sees the difference. I highly recommend her to anyone of any age who has lived in the heartbreak of isolation or just feeling that you are missing something and could benefit from a little help socially.”

“Our son, who has Asperger’s Syndrome, began working with Wendy Halley on an individual basis on improving his social skills.  Since these sessions began, a number of people have commented on the improvement which he has shown in his ability to handle himself in social situations.  We have also noticed and are pleased with this improvement.  Wendy is exceptionally pleasant, enthusiastic and vibrant person who seems to genuinely like the people with whom she works.  She treats them with respect and has endless patience interacting with them and creatively answering their questions so they can best understand it.”

“Wendy has make such a difference in my daughter’s life as well as my own.  Since Wendy has been working with her this past year on improving her social skills, she is developing and strengthening her abilities toward independence.  She is learning to stand up for herself while at the same time understanding that give and take is needed in relationships with family and friends.  Wendy has helped her gain self-confidence and begin to accept that she is a ‘good person.’  She looks forward to her weekly sessions and has found a good teacher, confidant and friend in Wendy.  I am thankful that she has this opportunity to grow.”
