SOCIAL GROUPS
In addition to supporting the goals of individual therapy, the group process goes beyond supporting the child’s individual sensory, motor and emotional profile to address moment-to-moment social interactions between children that occur in the child’s daily life. By doing so, we’re able to promote self-regulation, shared engagement, reciprocity and emotional thinking – which are integral for the child’s success in the family, school and larger community.
Pre-Teen Social Group (Ages 10-12)
Is your child finding it difficult to make friends? Does your child enjoy video game time over time with people? Are you concerned about bullying?
This social group is perfect for any pre-teen struggling with these issues. We’ll meet once a week, allowing your child to experience new relationships in an intimate, supportive setting.
Meets Every Friday | 4:00 – 5:30pm

Meets Every Saturday | 1:00 – 2:30pm
