Personal hygiene Children 5-12
Our groups are for children 5 - 12 years of age with strong language skills, but need help to further develop successful communication skills and build peer relationships. The groups are divided according to the ages and skill levels of the children. The groups are on-going throughout the school year and are run by an OT trained in social pragmatics. Each session is 90 minutes long. 80 minutes for group time and 10 minutes for parental consultation for effective carryover into the home and community. Each student must be interviewed prior to admission to ensure proper placement. Please contact us to arrange a free interview appointment.
Middle School
This club is for kids between 10-12 years old that enjoy reading chapter books, sharing their ideas with others, and are looking for a group of like-minded friends. The focus of the club is to assist the members in improving conversational skills with peers and written communication skills for academic assignments. We also develop critical thinking skills by applying them in various activities. This is a club for kids that enjoy reading books, playing video games, science, and more.
