Many Kids Struggle with Social Skills

Including children with autism spectrum disorder, attention‑deficit/hyperactivity disorder, shyness, anxiety, social delays, learning differences, sensory processing disorder, behavior challenges, and intellectual disabilities.

They may:

Interrupt conversations
Misread social situations
Struggle to make friends
Feel frustrated or left out

Parents and teachers want to help—but most social skills programs take too much time or training to implement.

And when these skills aren't taught, it can impact friendships, behavior, and confidence.

Start the 10 Minute Program

"I watched Donny have a meltdown in his classroom. Everyone just stood there. No one knew how to help. That day, I knew I had to do something."

Andrea Johnson Founder & Special Education Teacher

This Started with Donny

Andrea Johnson was a special education teacher in Utah when she witnessed something that changed her life forever. A student named Donny was having a meltdown in his classroom. Other students watched. Teachers didn't know how to help. Donny was alone.

Andrea quit her teaching job and used her life savings to build a solution that would help children like Donny—and the families who love them.

We are Friends was born from that moment. Today, it's an NSF-backed program helping thousands of families teach social skills in just 10 minutes a day, using research-based methods that actually work. The program is social health certified and has been developed and approved by a team of experienced educators, therapists, and specialists. It has also been validated by third-party researchers from various universities, ensuring its effectiveness and reliability.
