Preschool Power – Summer 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.

This group will meet three mornings a week, for two hours each day. The sessions are offered in three-week blocks.

           
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.
