Here’s why…

We use therapist-led collaborative playing skills to teach better social and emotional skills.
We teach building friendships through playing, while naturally teaching skills like not interrupting, staying on task, and being effectively assertive.
We know that kids don’t learn from worksheets. We use unstructured play settings so that kids can learn social skills in a real setting, which transfers to home and school.
We provide weekly updates on goals, behaviors and social concerns, including improvement towards lagging skills.
Our targeted curriculum is research-based and has shown significant social improvement for members who commit for a minimum of 4 consecutive months.
