This is a small group setting for both child and parent or caregiver to practice a variety of social skills.  At our customized play group, children practice initiating greetings, conversations, peer imitation, sharing and requesting items from peers.  Circle time, ball time, music, games, obstacle courses, art activities, pretend play, and snack time all help to develop and encourage these skills.  We even prepare and practice for social events such as birthdays and holidays.
