ChatterClub
Children with language and social skill needs are able to practice and generalize their skills with other children in a structured therapy setting.
Chatter Club Summer 2022 groups are forming now! Spots are limited.
Choose between:
Session A: June 6th-July 1st Time TBD
Session B: July 11-August 12th Time TBD
Each weekly Club meeting will last two hours and includes up to 6 children, with a ratio of 2:1 therapists-children. Elementary Language Groups are for elementary aged children, and Social Language Group is for elementary-middle school aged children.
Although one-on-one support is important, this setting has benefits including:
Learning and practicing language goals in a more natural setting:
This helps with generalizing a child’s skills outside the speech therapy room. Your child can practice their language skills while they communicate with adults and peers in a more natural environment. While structured activities in a one-on-one setting are important to teaching specific skills, group therapy leads to generalization. Practicing skills outside the therapy room in an environment that mimics a real-world environment is vital to turning these skills into habits.
Peer interactions:
These allow for your child to gain multiple benefits from their peers. It promotes social skills through new friendships, appropriate modeling and support from their peers, confidence building, and the ability for your child to teach and learn from others.
Whether their goals target speech sounds, expressive/receptive language skills, literacy, or social communication, group therapy can help your child reach their overall goal of becoming a functional, effective communicator at home, school, and the community. This setting provides your child with an environment where they can grow and learn, not only with their Speech-Language Pathologist, but their peers as well.
