Ridgewood NJ, The Social Place is an extracurricular club for children who have social challenges
due to high functioning autism, Asperger ‘s Syndrome or other conditions. Parents, volunteer educators and volunteer mentors from RHS administer, plan and run the activities of the club. Monthly activities provide opportunities for children to practice social skills in a fun environment, participating in typical type outings. In addition, monthly “Meetups” at GWMS will offer a chance to socialize with a pizza party and prepare for the upcoming outing. Please contact Elizabeth Rottinger at esrottinger@mac.com with any questions.

What are your options if you are not high-functioning on the autism spectrum?
So happy to see a program started by my daughter, Haley, as part of her Girl Scout Gold Award continue. Part of the project revolved around sustainability and it’s wonderful to see the RHS faculty and students continue this worthwhile program.
