Groups and Classes

Group Programs: 4-6 Week Commitment at a time, though  some run all year!

“Wait Your Turn” social language groups (i.e. “Social Skills”)- focusing on conversational balance, and address  impulsivity, topic  relevance, inferencing, social cues, sportsmanship, social initiation and small talk. Groups are not diagnosis specific and can accommodate most age gaps of the group by using older members as mentors to build their own self confidence and maturity.  Activities allow for group input for activity planning by  interest level.   Groups are ideal for students receiving individual pragmatic language intervention as part of a speech therapay plan, and need practice to generalize skills to peers in a small group setting. Some enter after years of individual social language therapy who  may or may not still be in a school program, but need continual help in this area as they progress to more sophisticated levels of social communication skills. Groups at KSLC are goal oriented, and can be coordinated with any other active programs from our center, outside our center, or from school.

Boys and girls ages 4-7 for extra practice with generalizing social language skills mastered with adults to a small group of peers. – Please call 860-217-0098 if interested in
