Our early intervention group is designed to serve children ages 2 and 3 that exhibit delays in language and social skills. The goal of the program is to increase communication, social and school readiness skills, as well as provide caregivers an opportunity to learn techniques and strategies to use at home.
During the 50 minute session, children and parents participate in a variety of activities either as a whole class or in small groups. Each child is provided a visual schedule that will help them navigate the classroom and provide a guide for what is going to happen throughout the day.
Therapist will train parents on how to help transition their child from different areas of the room and work with them in each area.
Typical social group session:
Children will begin with morning circle, which provides them with a chance to interact with peers in a group setting. Children are able to choose and request songs and stories using visual supports.
The goal of these activities is to teach children how to recognize their name, follow directions, share with peers, wait for a turn, and participate in a group setting. Through play, children will not only explore toys but develop skills necessary for social interaction. Art and sensory experiences help children to investigate different textures and experiment with crayons, glue, and paint.
