Helping kids build social skills and friendship skills through gaming.
Live, facilitated online groups where kids practice communication, flexibility, teamwork, and connection while playing games they already enjoy.
Quick Facts:
Gaming Becomes the Playground
Kids practice social and friendship skills during real, kid-driven moments, not after the interaction is over.
Real Social Moments
Gaming creates many of the same social dynamics kids experience on a playground, during recess, or in a group activity.
Kids have to join in, communicate ideas, listen to others, compromise, handle frustration, solve problems, and recover when something does not go as planned.
Skills That Carry Into Everyday Life
During each session, kids receive in-the-moment coaching while they are interacting with peers.
They practice what to say, what to notice, and how to respond while the social moment is actually happening, helping them learn how to use those skills in friendships, school, activities, and the wider community.
Meet Your In Game Coach:
Hi, I’m Victoria Prisco, a Special Education Teacher, Creative Arts Therapist, Licensed Professional Counselor, and neurodivergent skills educator with more than 15 years of experience supporting kids and families.
I created Level Up Wellness Hub to help kids build online communities where they feel safer showing up, connecting with peers, and having those important “me too” moments.
As a teacher, I watched after-the-fact conversations fail again and again. Neurodivergent kids often need support while the social moment is happening, not once it is already over.
Through live, facilitated gaming groups, kids practice social and friendship skills in real time. They learn how to respond, recover, communicate, and stay connected so those skills can carry into future kid-driven situations.
My goal is to help kids build confidence, reduce anxious fight-or-flight responses in social settings, and experience online communities that feel encouraging instead of harmful.
