About the Group
Hunter CAN Group is an 8-week program of a small group of college students who self-identify as having challenges with socialization and communication that comes with college life.
Some college students do very well with regular academic work, but they may experience challenges in collaborative exchanges that come with college life. Interactions like socialization, keeping to schedules, and recognizing the subtleties of communication and conversation can be difficult to achieve.
If you would like to improve how you relate to peers, faculty and others in your higher education sphere, the Hunter CAN Group is designed to help Hunter College students focus on pragmatic issues that other people take for granted.
As higher education requires self-advocacy, time management and context-based social skills, the Hunter College Center for Communication Disorders (HCCCD) offers a group program for the Hunter College student who identifies as being neurodivergent (e.g., Asperger’s syndrome, autism, and other social-learning differences).
This communication-based group is run by the HCCCD focusing on issues related to interactions in a higher education setting.
