Peer Group Scheduling
-
Each group is unique and formulated based on the individual clients’ needs and overall family goals.
-
As each child is different, each group is different, so I design the weekly topics and activities based on that specific group's needs and the goals set with parents during intake, (prior to the beginning of group).
-
Prior to the start of peer social skills group, parents will schedule a meeting to complete an intake; assess for current needs and formulate general goals.
-
I will solidify goals and email to parent(s)
-
​​Based on the assessment, we will then agree which group best fits your child
-
I will provide session #1 general topics and possible activities, so you have the opportunity to help prepare your child
