Power Players/Social Pragmatics Group
This program is designed for children who are able to benefit from therapy in a group setting.
Most often led by an occupational therapist and a speech
therapist, these groups emphasize both language and social skill
development for children ages 3-11 years. Through sensori-based
activities and outdoor games, these groups explore weekly themes
such as awareness of personal space, patience, sharing and
losing gracefully. Groups are formed according to age and level
of social skills.
A screening or trial session may be necessary to determine readiness for a group.
