In addition to the services offered throughout the year, we will be
offering a few specila programs during the summer to focus on skill
acquisition and maintenance of skills during the summer months.
Sibling Therapy
Designed to facilitate relationship development between siblings and
enhance interactions during play and leisure times. Siblings will
learn techniques and develop sensitivity to feel more confident in
their role as a sibling of a child with exceptionalities. Caregiver
input will tailor this program to benefit the entire family.
Sensory Play Group
For children whose success is enhanced while they are “on the move”,
this small group program will offer opportunities for improved
spatial awareness, motor coordination, joint attention, and
understanding of social play in an indoor playground.
Self Regulation
This group program is
based on the book,
How Does Your Engine Run?®
by Williams & Shellenberger and teaches children to choose
appropriate strategies to change or maintain states of alertness.
These strategies may be particularly helpful for children who have
sensory dysfunction, ADHD, anxiety, or ASD.
Tutoring
Our tutoring programs provide intensive instruction in specific
academic areas, using motivating and kinesthetic teaching
methodologies to enhance a child’s skills. A variety of programs
may be used to teach reading (traditional phonological awareness,
Orton Gillingham Method, Oelwien Top-Down Method), writing
(Handwriting Without Tears, Dot-Prompt Method, Write Out Loud,
typing), creative writing, mathematics, or a combination.
Many of our group programs incorporate typical peer models to
enhance each participant’s social experience. Children are
carefully grouped with peers who are compatible and will benefit
from the same program content and teaching methods.
