Social Communication Peer Matching
Either while we train you to be an optimal language and communication model, or after you complete the adult-child training, we may recommend that your child receive child-child social communication training in the form of a play date. The purpose of a play date is for the child to start generalizing his social language skills that he has acquired with you onto a new context with his peers. Children often behave entirely different across situations and it is important to address social skills across the various life settings.
The end goal will be to master age appropriate social communication skills in his or her most challenging environment (e.g. a birthday party or a large classroom).
If you are a local customer, we will either conduct a treatment session with a playdate you have arranged, or we will offer “peer matching” for your child with one of our clients as a semi-private treatment session in our office. In an effort to match your child with other children who will best meet his social needs, we will take careful consideration of your child’s developmental and chronological age as well as his overall nature.
