Preschool Power – Fall 2019

For preschool aged children

A small social-intensive group program for children who are preschool-age. The focus is on developing classroom participation skills, effective communication skills, and appropriate peer interactions using circle time, supported play, movement activities, crafts, and a snack.  The program is limited to six children per session. It is co-led by a Speech Therapist and Occupational Therapist, with the assistance of graduate students and/or volunteers. We always have at least one therapist or volunteer for every two children.

           
Goals include:          

1. Encouraging use of age-appropriate language to communicate wants and needs.
2. Improving ability to follow verbal directions.
3. Encouraging appropriate social interactions in a small-group setting.
4. Exploring sensory strategies that are useful in supporting behavioral organization.
5. Improving engagement and attention for age-appropriate fine- motor and visual motor tasks.                            

When: Tuesdays, September 3^rd – December 10^th  (no session November 26^th)

Time: 1:00-2:00 PM                                                             

Cost: $100 per session

Registration Information

To register, submit a paper or electronic form.

Children are expected to attend every session (barring illness), as the sessions build on each other and group dynamics are an important component. These services are billed as Occupational and/or Speech Therapy services and many parents receive partial reimbursement from their insurance companies.

If your child is not attending therapy sessions at Emerge, we will be in touch with you to set up a brief free screening to determine if this program is a good match for your child.
