Not every child finds it easy to make friends, understand social cues, or join group activities. For some, social interaction feels like a puzzle with missing pieces—confusing, overwhelming, or emotionally draining. When these patterns persist, families are often left wondering whether it’s just a phase or something more.
At Global Psychoeducational Solutions (GPS), we offer comprehensive social skills assessments to help families understand the “why” behind social difficulties—and what to do next. Whether you’re in Chicago, Miami, or Columbus, our mission is the same: to offer answers grounded in evidence, empathy, and practical application.
Because no child should feel isolated, misunderstood, or unsupported in their efforts to connect.

Our role is not to judge or label—but to clarify whether these patterns are developmentally typical or indicative of a social communication difference requiring support.
