Ican House Services

With a foundation in positive thinking, ican house seeks to enhance the lives of those with social challenges by teaching social skills, providing educational opportunities, maintaining a hub for local resources, and providing a support network for those in need.this is accomplished by (1) using a club-based model and a unique, engaging curriculum through which over 110 participants learn and practice concrete social and life skills. Although no diagnosis is required to attend programs, many participants may have social anxiety, ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, asperger’s spectrum, or struggle with other conditions limiting full realization of their potential; (2)offering individual coaching and mentoring; (3) creating an environment of belonging for members, parents and families. Everything we do is steeped in positivity: to seek and act upon positive choices in the midst of challenges.

Meet-n-eat – an adult social club (ages 18+) for those with social skills deficits, who are looking to improve their social skills and meet new people. Members partake in multiple social activities each month, including a “night out on the town,” movie night, dinner and social discussion at ican house, activity planning sessions and more.

Real world connections (ages 14-21): a weekly, single-sex social skills club focused on aiding adolescents to form bonds with their peers and unravel the mysteries of puberty and maturity as they prepare for adulthood. Groups also interact with typically developing peers in their sessions, which allows program participants to gain valuable perspectives from their peers. An additional benefit has been that this interface allows typically developing teens to gain a better understanding and tolerance of these differences.
