Our programs are designed for children aged 4-12 who can benefit from learning to use age appropriate social/emotional and coping skills, which will improve self-esteem and confidence for building friendships. Groups are listed by age range and children will be grouped appropriately by skill level:

	Ages 3 to 5
	Ages 6 to 9
	Ages 10 to 14

Therapists provide explicit instruction and structured learning opportunities for children to practice new skills. During sessions, therapists use positive feedback and teach skills through role-playing and modeling techniques. Home-program recommendations are provided to parents for each topic presented. Sample topics include:

	Communication Skills: Greeting Others/Introducing Self Listening Skills Beginning/Ending Conversations Joining in Activities
