Basic Group Offering Information


Making connections offers groups throughout the year for children with social and communication difficulties of various age levels. Each group session's length will vary dependent on holidays and school calendars.


We use a variety of methods to teach and support children including visual structure, schedules, rewards, and transitional cues. These groups are appropriate for children who are able to participate and function in a small group setting with minimal one-to-one support.


Our school year groups are as follows:


Classroom Connections: (9-10:30 am) Preparing for the classroom! This class will focus on developing individualized strategies to help your child learn how to be a productive, active member of a group and/or classroom. The focus of this group will be to work on play sequences and paths, body control and awareness, social conversation and learning finger-plays. A brief snack time will be included during the hour and a half as well, to help facilitate a very natural social time in the day. This group is for preschool aged children 3-5 years old.


Playful Pirates: (10:45-12:15 pm) Back to School! This group will be focused on taking our group social skills to the next level. Navigating social skills at school (cafeteria, on playground, in class). We will work on being an active member of the group, engaging others in conversation, and sharing interests. Lunch time will be included during the hour and a half as well, to help facilitate a very natural social time in the day. This group is for younger elementary school aged children 6-8 years old.


Club Chat: (12:30-2:00pm) Group is designed for children 11-15 years old. Primarily community based with some in-house meetings to plan our community outings. This group has been happening about 2 times per session in recent months. Inquire further for more information.
