~a social skills, language-based, play program for children with special needs~
Children learn, practice, apply and generalize skills in a variety of situations that address individual needs and allow
each child to learn and grow. Games, art activities, circle time, and sensory activities are used to increase play skills,
language skills, fine motor and gross motor skills and social skills. At My Playgroup, they will be focusing on
language development, social skills, peer relationships, and play skills. Through experienced professionals and a
learning rich environment, children will learn how to interact appropriately with peers of their own age. The program
is designed by three Early Intervention Professionals with complementary disciplines who have combined their
expertise to create an exceptional and unique learning environment. They offer social skills, play based classes
throughout the week with weekend times also available. They also offer behavioral consultations, parent
training, one-on-one private social skills training with experienced professionals, as well as home ABA ther-
apy. NEW GROUPS ADDED ON AN ONGOING BASIS. PLEASE CONTACT US AT (201) 781-6129 OR BY EMAIL AT
